Since my last post, I got my Minuets in. I showed them to my cousin and he wanted to try them out. He's running some sort of Yamaha gear and after having heard his system, I'll reiterate, the Minuets can sound bright, with some material.
In my system, they sound wonderful. I'm running an NAD C162 pre amp and an Aragon 2004 amp. All cabling is from Blue Jeans.
