Silverline Sonata 2 Speakers For Sale
Here is a
chance to own the 2001
Golden Ear Award winning Sonata 2 speakers by
Silverline Audio. These belong to Mike
Powell the owner of
Verastarr, and have been
fully upgraded with the
careful consultation of
Alan Yun of Silverline
Audio.First off the
original Sonata 2 had
polypropylene 10"
drivers. These are no
longer made, and if one
blows, you are stuck
with having to replace
all 4 drivers, which is
not cheap. The next
bummer, is that the
tooling for 10" woofers
in Europe has changed,
so you have to rework
the cabinets to get the
new size replacement
woofers to fit. We had a
custom cabinetmaker
rework these cabinets to
fit the 4 new SEAS 10"
aluminum woofers. This
alone gave the speakers
much better bass
response with tighter
"hit". Next, the 2"
softdome mids were
upgraded to Dynaudio
drivers for some of the
best midrange possible
from a soft dome. The
crossover caps were
upgraded at the same
time as the binding
posts where Cardas Audio
posts were fitted. All
this was done while
consulting with Alan Yun
to make sure the mods
were perfect. So what
you have here is a
nicely upgraded pair of
Silverline Sonata 2's
with nearly all new
drivers. The bad: we had
granite slabs on top of
the speakers, with a
damping pad inbetween.
When we removed the
pads, they were stuck,
and along with pulling
them up came some of the
veneer, so the tops have
little pieces of veneer
missing, one is just
over a quarter in size,
and the other is roughly
the size of a cigarette
pack. Other than this, a
few of the little stems
that hold the speaker
grille were snapped off
the grilles while they
were being stored, since
these were never used
with grilles in place..
The grilles still hold
in place, but the stems
are not all there. This
is a simple fix... other
than that, the speakers
are in very good overall
condition. We have the
original triple boxes to
ship, and I imagine
shipping would be around
$200. They are roughly
130 LB each, and amazing
sounding.. Get these now
for the price of mid
level monitors. These
speakers were $6999 at
the time of purchase
since they were 2003
models. Total upgrades
are about $2500.. Priced
for quick sale at
$2999.call Mike
