Review: Silverline SR17 Supreme speakers

Hi all - I've just posted a review of the Silverline SR17 Supreme speakers ($7500):
https://taww.co/post/183853254737/silverline-sr17-supreme-loudspeaker-review

It's been around a while and there's very little coverage of it on the 'net, but I think it's deserving of a listen if you're in the market for this type of speaker. I found it to be truly exceptional,

Cheers,
TAWW

@seanheis1 -- in what ways did the Regas surpass the Minuets?

Rega’s are more alive...greater presence. Higher resolution but no fatigue. The Minuets are the mellower speaker. Slightly veiled. 

Rega tweeter is hands down better. Both have excellent midrange. Rega RS1 is much better in near field. Minuets excel at 6 feet or more. Minuets have the wider soundstage so for background listening they would be an excellent choice.

@seanheis1 was this the original Minuet or one of the more recent revision? I agree the originals were very fun and musical but a little veiled. I think the latest Supreme Plus is significantly more transparent. And the Minuet Grand is in another league, albeit at 3x the price ($2k).

It was the Minuet Supreme. It was the pair that Alan brought to audio shows. He is a really nice guy.

The Rosewood finish is excellent. They definitely beat the RS1s in the looks department.

TAWW I will be in the bay area in a few days and I would like to travel up to see Alan and take another listen to the SR 17's. In your review you compared the 17's to the audio vectors. Did you end up purchasing the audio vectors?
Thanks for your input !
