Silverline Minuet:

Minuet "... the most revealing and most spacious sounding mini-monitors I've ever heard, and at a price almost anyone can manage.." by The Absolute Sound (April/May 2007) / Chris Martens ... 2007 Editors' Choice Award by The Absolute Sound

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 13 - Bound for Sound #184

"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

"Silverline Audio's Minuet is an uncolored, detailed, and dynamic performer that competes with the best designs I've heard at its price. But even more special than that...It's brilliantly designed lifestyle choice that will satisfy audiophiles while providing a Spouse Acceptance Factor that's off the charts".....by Robert J. Reina of Stereophile

"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....." - Chris Martens - The Absolute Sound - April/May 2007
