Or do you just feel the need to tweek something?

    I think what is endearing at first becomes fatiguing. Initially the extra bass is a plus but then you start to miss the music. I have worked with the RS6's and I think I have heard them at their best in my room.

    Since I do not have any local audio stores closer than 30 miles away and work too many hours I switch speakers back and forth trying to find some magic. I would have to drive 2 hours to hear some of the speakers I am interested I hearing. Once I have my dream speakers I will gladly unload the RS6's. Until then it is nice to have some variety.

    I guess I'm just worried that all that switching of speakers and wires really raises your margin for error and that may have indirectly caused the short circuit in the Alpha Cores. I'm sure you are a very careful person, in your line of work you would have to be, but stranger things have happened.

    I truly think one channel of speaker cables was not assembled properly since one channel of each amp did not produce sound. I have my RA to send the cables back for a refund. When I went back to the AQ Slates all was normal with the Onky A-9555.
