Silverline Minuet
Design Features
These little gems set a new level of performance for compact sixed monitors
regardless of price. These beautiful small speakers can handle high current
solid state amplifiers effortlessly and will put out room rocking sound
levels. They can also sing sweet and loud with lower power output single
ended tube amps such as a 7 watt output 300B tube amp. Our custom built
treated paper cone mid/woofer and fabric dome tweeter are the state of
the art magic, making the Minuet so unique and outstanding. There are
so many ways to use them, you will need to try a pair and let your wild
imagination guide you.
"Alan was blowing people AWAY! From those little tiny speakers came
a sound so detailed, yet so absolutely enormous and powerful that listeners
were convinced that the large 3-way sitting next to them were infact
playing, not the little guys. Wrong. The little Silverline was a star
at the show
for the way it outperformed and destroyed some of the monster $30,000
plus loudspeakers that essenially sounded like junk." - Page

"On the end of the known galaxy, just to provide aesthetic and comic
balance, Alan Yun of Silverline featured what I would characterize as
an anti demo.
Instead of a high-powered amp and sophisticated digital front end,
he had a miniature 25-watt amp probably outsourced from the grand Duchy
of Fenwick,
and an ancient Philips CD player he had purchased for five bucks in
a yard sale and restored to life with scotch tape and healing herbs (it
is now
available on e-Bay for ten bucks). He was driving, if I may be allowed
the latitude to use that term so loosely given the heroic cheesiness
of his rig, a pair of stand-mounted Silverline Audio Minuet loudspeakers,
a biwire-ready set of diminutive ass-kickers with a surprising degree
of
extension and resolution, considering that they are all of 9" x
5.5" x
7.25" and feature a 3" woofer. Again, that is not a typo.
Mind you, I didn't see the burning bush but they were authentic hifi
speakers
and a pretty good value at $600." - Chip Stern - 6 Moons
"Silverline Audio. This was a show stopper for me. Using the smaller speakers
in the picture, he filled the room with superb sound that was both
accurate and almost holographic, and at least went down to the low 40Hz range.
Truly
amazing for $600 a pair. They sounded better than many of the mega-bucks
setups using only a 25 wpc. I actually went up to the speakers and
touched the cones to make sure they were producing the sound, then went around
to find if there was a hidden woofer. Think I'll get a pair of these
for
my second system." - Bill Gaw - Enjoy The Music
"The pint-sized, two-way Silverline Minuet is the sleeper of the bunch,
in that it is at once one of the most revealing and most spacious
sounding mini-monitors I've ever heard, and at a price almost anyone can manage....." -
