Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus
What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
Not the most expensive, not the best reviewed, not the biggest, but the most FUN. You know, that ONE that just makes you throw on some more music and keep listening, the one that makes your toes tap, your head bob, your ass move the most. The one that makes you think to yourself "damn, why doesn't everyone have a pair of these?" Let 'er rip.

Kinda torn between my first hi-end speaker (Ed Long Time Alignment speakers" mid 1970s)) and Accoustat 2 + 2s ~ 1985. The Ed Longs were my first effort to improve speakers. I took them apart, replaced the OEM internal wiring, 5 coats of borosiliate, then horizontal rod at midpoint to further stiffen the already stiff cabinets, then stuffed with wool) The 2+2s with the help of a friend who had a spool of OEM wire doubled up the in/out of each panel then to XO and later to the servo amps harness, which several simple mods were done to improve both sound and stability. I also DIYed outriggers to add rigidity and ability to tilt/ I wish I still had them: Good times |
Music is much more fun when shared with others. My little Elac Uni-Fi 2.0. By far, these get the most play and use because they’re not in my sound rooms, but in the living room where they can be enjoyed most of the day while cooking or socializing with friends and family, and they sound soooo good for the size and price that I even bought a second pair to put in the garage! If they were weatherproof I’d get a third pair to put near the BBQ pit! Have some outdoor speakers but none I have tried sound this good. |
@ellajeanelle If you're looking into outdoor speakers, look at these: Dayton Audio IO8XTW 8" Indoor/Outdoor 2-Way Speaker w/ Bass Radiator White (parts-express.com). They also have a 6.5" version. I really doubt that they'll match the Elacs fidelity-wise, but my god, they're amazing speakers for outside. And that price! |
