Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary: Ah reviews, which “I find” can be biased/misleading/overblown and/or justifying ones purchase. With this in mind, please take my review in that regard and drill down deep and research, for each of our wants and needs are different.
As for the Silverline Audio Prelude II’s, they are one the best/if not thee best speaker I have owned (regardless of cost) and based on my 15 year audiophile/audio fool journey with five different systems, comprised of some highly touted, well known equipment with provenance (one set of speakers I owned cost $10K).
The Preludes are designed for smaller spaces, which is the size of most condo/apartment living rooms. The most important aspect of the Preludes, to my ears anyway, is that they are just plain “sonically right”, accurate but musical, airy, but have body, have excellent low listening level retrieval, but can also be played loud, and work fantastic with all types of music. In short, the more I listen to them, the more I want to listen to them.
Truth be told, there are many great speakers to choose from. However, If you are looking for speakers that do don’t take up a lot of visual space/undemanding to the eyes, easy to take care of and not worry about, but will totally satisfy and be appreciated by the most demanding listener, the Preludes are a must audition. If, there is a downside to the Preludes, it would be their low cost, the cabinets being vinyl wrapped (BTW, to my eyes it’s more like a laminate, very well done and attractive) and thus dismissed as being budget and not taken seriously.
The only way I would sell these Prelude II's is if I were move to a larger space that require a bigger speaker and then I would first have to look into Silverline Audio’s bigger floor standers or monitors, before making a final decision.
