Don't see much on Silverline Sonata so..

I agree with Jazzhelp. I just bought a pair of Sonatas last week and am very pleased. All the reviews are correct including the chills up your spine as mentilned by one reviewer. Accoustic music is where they excel makeing it seem as if the musicians are playing live in your room. However since I listen to a lot of rock and R&B, I was concerned about their bass response. As Jazz has said, they are not overly rich with bass, but I find the bass to be deep, tight and clean. In short if you feed it to them, they will reproduce it accurately. These speakers are smooth from top to bottom. I run these with Conrad Johnson SS amp (200 wpc) and preamp. They are bi-wired. They are great speakers. I think you will be impressed.

(sp) should read "as mentioned by one reviewer."

Me2> Thanks for the follow up post. I hope they give you much musical enjoyment over the years.

Massvm> If you are interested there is a pair of Sonatas for auction at a rediculously low price $1475.
