I bought a pair of Silks that Jim modded for me to include Mundorf Silver/Oil capacitors. Jim had to stretch the speaker's height dimension by an inch to make room for those bad boys. So, mine are 15 inches tall. They sit on 26 inch four post Sound Anchor stands (which I heartily recommend).
I run a VPI Classic 3 with a Lyra Delos cartridge, a McIntosh C50 preamp, and a McIntosh MC275 Mk VI amp. To go easy on my tubes, I broke the Silks in with a solid state Rotel amp that I bought on Audiogon for less than $300 (should be able to sell it for the same price, really nice little amp). I also used a CD player and played as many long CDs as I could over a period of a week and a half to assist in breaking in the speakers.
I've read where people say it takes as many as 300 hours for those Mundorf caps to break in. I am about 100 hours in. Here's my report. When the source material is up to it, the Silks are as smooth, neutral and accurate as anything I have ever heard at my house, or at a show. On top of those attributes, there are three significant bonuses: (1) razor sharp, rock solid imaging (both in terms of left to right positioning and depth); (2) uncanny bass for a speaker this small; (3) an organic nature to the sound that lets your recordings' dynamic range be expressed to the fullest. Of course, when the source material is a little bright (like my late 70's pressing of Highway 61 Revisited), the speakers reveal that, too.
ASIDE: My McIntosh MC275 Mark VI seems totally up to the task, but I have not heard the Silks with big-watt solid state amplification, as Jim has suggested would make such a good match. The MC275 pumps out 90 watts and I am using the 8 ohm taps. (The MC275 is one of those amps that plays way above its pay grade, and people who sell them always seem regret it and go looking for another one).
If you want/need a stand mount configuration in your listening space, you would be hard-pressed to top these. I will call them Pulsar-killers, not so much because their performance exceeds the Pulsars' performance (both are extremely good speakers and I have never heard them side-by-side), but because they cost SO MUCH LESS.
I'm delighted.
