Silverline Prelude 2 Floorstanders

Item:     Silverline Prelude 2  Slimline Floorstanders

Location: Lismore NSW

Price: $ 850+ $100 shipping or less to anywhere in Aus.(I'll pay any extra)

Item Condition: 9.5 out of 10

Reason for selling: Upgraded

Payment Method:  EFT Happy to courier them wherever they need to be.

 

Extra Info: Not many of these in Australia and these could be the only pair as Silverline doesn't have or apparently want an agency here.

I imported these myself brand new in box. My reasons for wanting these were that they have such a small footprint, they are pencil thin and at the time of buying there were few such speakers with this build within my budget  and that still applies now I think.

 

Try and find floorstanders of this size...you wont basically and certainly not in Aus. Totem Arro's were the closet I could find (in Nzed at the time,now in Aus at S/phonic) along with  PMC GB1i's which I trialled and which didn't compare with the Preludes particularly in bass presentation.

 

Every single person who has had heard these have shook their head at the bass these little 3.5" drivers can produce.

 

Huge WAF. If I can bring the Handbrake around to the idea of three sets of speakers then I'm keeping them I think as it really was a fair bit of trouble to import these blind with all fingers crossed hoping they'd be what I wanted and they were.

Some info about them:

 

The Magic Tweeter

At the 2007 H.E. show in N.Y. Alan was showing a small (I mean very small), good sounding (I mean very good sounding) mini-monitor of his design with a pulp-paper 3.5" woofer and a fabric dome 1" tweeter at $600/pr.; and a floor-standing, D'Appolito configured, good sounding (I mean exceptionally good sounding) mini-tower of his design at $1200/pair. He had found, or had asked some driver manufacturer to develop for him, a 3.5" metal alloy mid-woofer, and the magic tweeter that is the key to his floor-standing mini-tower, a similar alloy formed into a 1" dome tweeter. In any event, I fell for the relatively coloration-free sound of his D'Appolito, Silverline's Prelude.

1%20inch%20Aluminum%20Magnesium%20alloy%

On his website, http://www.silverlineaudio.com, some advertising copy-writer specifies the tweeter as a 1" aluminum-magnesium alloy dome model. It seems to be coated with a layer of something, I'm guessing a damping compound. It also has a shield of perforated metal that may act as a means of dispersing the highs, as well as a guard against any stray bits of metal that could be drawn to the magnet. No matter. The result is a very "sweet" sounding tweeter that captures all of the fine details in the high frequency band without insulting the ear, and which projects a wide and deep sound-stage. The crossover point is listed in the specifications as 3500 Hz. That means it does most of its work pretty high up, with little of the high midrange being its responsibility. The blessing of the mid-woof is that it can go up so high to allow the tweeter to carry the highs without the strain or stress of making lower pitches. This may be what gives the Prelude its "relaxed sound," even at very high output levels.

3%20inch%20Aluminum%20Magnesium%20alloy%

 

 

 

The Biggest 3.5" Driver I Ever Heard

 

The Silverline mini-monitor features a treated pulp-paper coned 3.5" woofer, but the Prelude features a 3.5" "ultra light weight and extremely rigid diaphragm made from ... an alloy of aluminum and magnesium." Its feather weight makes for ultra fast transient rise time and braking, and suggests it ought to have awesomely life-like reproductive qualities. According to my ear-brain, and without test equipment more than comparing it to some of the other speakers I have hanging around, I'd say the mid-range is very clean and noticeably free of colorations. In this sense, the design goals are met.

There are those who say you can't get away from the colorations of a metal-coned woofer. They, who hold this, say the best material for sound reproduction (as opposed to test results) is plain old paper cones. This may account for the success of the Silverline's mini-monitor. I have recently heard some metallic coned speakers with 10" and 12" woofers, and I found them so "well-damped" the harmonic overtone structures were largely lost. It was hard to tell the difference, for but one example, between the acoustic bass and the electric bass. The bad rap on those larger woofers is that they make low fundamentals, but damp out higher partial overtones that contain the details that comprise "texture."

In the midrange, especially, with the 3.5" fast aluminum-magnesium alloy coned drivers, there is a facsimile of live performers in the room, and that means sound-staging, airiness around the notes, and freedom from poorly reproduced electro-mechanical artifacts, like bowing sounds or fingering noises. In that regard, the Silverline Preludes hold their own with some of my speakers that are known for extraordinary performance in the midrange. The generalization about metallic coned loudspeakers doesn't hold across the boards.

The gurus of horns say ya need wery expensive tube amps to drive horns. Eric's less than 5 C-notes amps baed on 6fd7 would prove them wrong in this regard.

After some messing about I've come to confirm that yeah his amps work for horns and there's no appreciable noise or hum. Highly recommended.

well MS has pulled a rabbit out the hat with the x box ! 

 

the x box one s gets ultra uhd support ... not only for streaming ...but also a uhd blu-ray player to boot ! 

 

now available for pre order on their website.... available august ! 

 

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one-s

 

this is obviously to steal sonys thunder..... the sony neo is still in vapour ware status with just reporting no established capability no confirmation even of uhd blu-ray support . sony is well and truly caught with its pants down...having obviously hit the snooze button on uhd blu-ray a while back ....

 

ms would have been working on this for a while and all this at  same price as a samsung uhd player ! 

 

and it supports the classic games as well it would seem :)

Bought this from a fellow SNA'er

Contains the much vaunted new R2R DAC chipsets from Schiit with their custom closed form filter and adaptibit clock.

Reviewed by John Darko and given his Knockout Award.
"The Gungnir’s talents with spaciousness echo a visit to a Planetarium. With imaging thrown wide and deep and with (seemingly) endless detail, music is drawn as a fresh new universe, ready for the listener to explore. The Schiit decoder is one of those products that’ll have you rediscovering your digital audio library anew for months, years even."
"I’d double DAR-KO award this piece of Schiit if I could – it’s that good."

http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2016/01/zesty-and-sweet-the-stunning-schiit-gungnir-multibit-dac/

In A/B tests some have found this DAC sounds very similar to the top of the line Yggdrasil and indeed most preferred the sound of the multibit Gungnir.
