Does anyone use the Silverline Audio SR 17 speakers? If so, how do you like them?

I'm in the same boat as you,looking at the Prelude+...1 single pro review from 4 years ago.Maybe the fact that we don't see them for sale here or fleabay is a good sign...

They must be really good. Six or seven years ago I would see them for sale on a regular basis but then it dried up. During that time I was changing speakers fairly often and they were always one of the candidates. I wish that I had tried them.

freediver - I’m not a pro reviewer but, fwiw, I’m running Prelude Pluses. They sound great with tubes. Took a while to break in and playing with placement definitely helped with bass quite a bit. They image well and create a wide soundstage...outside the speakers. Front to back depth is very noticeable on some recordings. Nicely detailed without being fatiguing.  They are clean and clear sounding but not harsh or sterile.  Lyrics are easier to understand.  Previously "lost" subtle textures on vocals and instrument decay are conveyed.  They seem best suited to jazz (acoustic and electric), strings, female vocals, indie rock. That’s not to say other genres are unlistenable...not at all.  Just listened to FZ Waka Jawaka off YouTube, I think....it was very enjoyable.  Black Light Syndrome  (Bozzio, Levin, Stevens) "Duende" is extraordinary. These speakers are "quick". A sub brings a nice upgrade to the sound but depending on your music preferences might not be absolutely essential.
