A favor: Can the Prelude owners who have posted here describe their room size? I have heard these speakers, the new version, and was very impressed, but I suspect that I will need something bigger for my basement system. My basement is 500 square ft., with 6' ceilings. I would guess that I'd have to move up one notch in the line for my room. Any thoughts? TIA.
Silverline's "Prelude" vs. Monitor Audio RS-6
I am moving to a smaller apartment and downsizing the system and need a compact floorstander (which I prefer over monitor on stands)I have heard the Monitor Audio RS-6 and liked them alot---they have a slim profile and fit and finish are very attractive. Silverline's Prelude is also in the running but I have not heard them because there is no SL dealer within 100 miles. Absolute Sound and Soundstage have reviewed them. Therefore, has anyone heard either or both these new speakers, or had the opportunity to compare them?? I have heard "other" Silverline models and was impressed by their overall sound, but also thought they sounded a bit edgy and the music sounded canned (The Silverline Prelude is $1200 and MA's are $1000) I am considering either a used Sim-Audio I-5 integrated amp or the Audio Refinement Complete as the drive electronics of my downsized rig.... All opinions and comments welcomed Thanks, Jim
