Legacy support is literally a phone call away I've talked to Bill Dudleston personally on a few occasions because he picked up the phone when I called! They are heavy and extremely well built inert as hell. You definitely want subs to go with them, but if you enjoy 2.0 listening, they do a good job. More than once, my subs didn't come on (an issue with my AVR) but I thought they were on because the Silhouettes put out a surprising amount of low end. They also take as much power as you can throw at them without blinking. I found the AMT tweeter to be extremely neutral (sometimes too neutral, but that could have been due to Audyssey). I welcome any additional thoughts or alternatives.Ĭlick to expand.I decided on the Silhouettes for the same reasons you are considering them: the AMT tweeter and a large and strong diver compliment. However, I don't really know where do get deals on PSB or Focal products. I wouldn't mind trying either the PSB or the Focal on the wall before I begin hacking large holes in my wall for the Arendal or Legacy speakers. Relatively inexpensive ($1000 shipped for the pair), 6' depth is borderline needing to be recessed into wall and no really clean, easy way to pull that off, they aren't designed specifically for in-wall, there is a VESA 100 on-wall application, likely increasing the depth to ~7' Only 2 way, attractive larger drivers, soft dome tweeter (not my preference), but great reviews and said to be very neutral. Only 2-way, aluminum/magnesium tweeter look nice but likely $$ for what you get.ģway, Titanium tweeter, still $$ for what you get in the larger modelsĪrendal 1961 monitor (from 2nd post in this thread)
