Need Help with Speaker Selection
Your requirement of a maximum of one foot from the wall is a difficult one for many speaker systems. Speakers with rear facing drivers or pasive radiators will be especially problematical. Side firing woofers may also present problems in speaker p... 
Which Speaker in the 4-6K Range?
I should have mentioned that when comparing the Super Eclipses (which come without a grill), you should remove the grills from the Sonatas. They sound much better that way! 
Which Speaker in the 4-6K Range?
During the last year, I have owned both Coincident Super Eclipses (listed at $5500 although Israel Blume will sell them to you directly for $4500 post paid) and the new Silverline Sonatas (at $6000 a pair). I think that they are both great speaker... 
Silverline Sonata?
I have owned a pair of the new Silverline Sonatas and ahve been absolutely delighted with them. I had been driving them with an Italiam Mastersound parallel 845, but am now using Don Garbers Fi Super X (2A3s). There seems to be no problem with cli... 
Anyone heard the new Reynaud Trente's
I must also have been at the same "shootout". Curiously, the listeners were nearly equally divided between the three monitor systems when polled. The silverlines did image very well and sounded very smooth. The Reference 3As clearly sounded the mo... 
Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?
Please see my update under Sound Advice, "Sonata/Sonatina with 3-5 Watts???????" dated 11/11/2000. 
Best Single Ended Integrated
My advice is to buid your own. There are many recommended circuits in Sound Practices, Vacuum Tube Valley, Glass Audio, and a number of other magazines. If you want to buy one, I would recommend the Fi model Super X or the Fi X3 in the integrated ... 
Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?
I agree completely , M. Burnstein. Actually, for small rooms, the new Silverline monitor sounds pretty good as well. 
Triangle Speakers...Anybody got opinions
Hi Mailman- Another speaker you should audition is the studio monitors made by Silverline. I heard a pair driven by a 300 SET amplifier (in a medum sized room) and they were fantastic. The particular speakers I listened to will be first shown at t... 
Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?
I believe that the Sonatinas are VERY good, comparable to or better than my Coincident Super Eclipses, but the Sonatas are fantastic, with much more space, resolution, and imaging! Silverline just makes fantastic speakers! 
Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?
I recently listened to the new Silverline Sonatina and Sonata driven by a 2A3 SET amp and was blown away. The Sonata was fantastic, with great sound reproduction over a wide frequency range, excellent resolution, air, soundstaging, etc. Moreover, ... 
Any experience with DAC/Upsampler?
I had become increasingly unhappy with the muddled sound from my Mark Levinson Model 36 DAC and started shopping around several months ago. I was able to compare the dCS purcell/delius combo with the M-L 30.6 Reference DAC. I thought that the form... 
Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?
Perhaps I should have been more specific when I first posted this thread. I have a parallel 845 SET and Coincident Super Eclipses for the system in my living room. I would like to set up a second system in a separate medium sized room (12x15) with... 
Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?
Thanks for all your advice. I've learned a lot and will be able to make a better informed choice. But the job is not getting easier, and I'll have to spend a lot of time auditioning speakers (which will be part of the fun!). 
Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?
Trelja, I am also setting up a second system with the 2A3 amplifier. The amp is the only component that is set (no pun intended!), i.e. I just ordered a Fi Super X from Don Garber. I have considered Avant Garde DUOs, but I am put off a little by t...
