I visited the Silverline factory showroom. Very plesant
experience. Alan, the President/Designer, is entirely
pleasant himself. Listened to both a high-current 150 RMS
power amp and a 7W SET model of Alan's own design. I heard the SET first, and was blown away. Warm, rich, totally
musical. Seemless sound from what seemed an invisible
crossover supporting this five way unit. The 150W unit
seemed to coax a little more detail out of the Sonatas,
at the slightest cost to the warmth of the SET.
Needless to say, I bought the Sonatas. I am driving them
today with a 100W Parasound HCA-1000. The Sonatas are responding well but can take more than what this amp can
deliver.
