Thoughts or comments on Silverline Audio?

Hi All,

Anyone have any thoughts or comments on Silverline Audio, both the company and the speakers?

Had a chance to spend some time with the owner/designer, Alan Yun, yesterday, and came away very impressed with the sound of his Sonata II speakers. A real 5 way, 5 driver speaker. It just received a "Golden Ear" Award in TAS.

Anybody have a chance to audition the Sinfonia or the Grandeur, which seems to have been very well reviewed in Bound for Sound? How about the SR17? I may use them upstairs in a second system. Seem like fabulous monitors.

Frankly, the $6500 Sonata II gives my SF Amati Homage a run for their money, and am considering going over to the dark side (tubes and/or SET) with the Sinfonia or Grandeur.

Thanks,

Tom H
