I'm using Minuets in my office, and was curious enough about your question to swap out the t-amp I'd been using and set up the old HK receiver it replaced. It's staying. Sounds great and the tone controls are nice to have since nearly all of my listening is at very low volume.
Silverline Minuet Speakers and Receivers or Amps
I recently read a review of the Minuets where the reviewer felt that the Minuets "did not like receivers". I am not all that informed on the subject of audiofidelity and was wondering how a speaker might differentiate between the power source in a receiver versus the power source of an amplifier and how that would impact the sound quality. The reason I ask is that I am trying to chase down a pair of Minuets to use with my Harman Kardon HK 3490 receiver. Any insight would be most appreciated.
