Monitor Audio RS6

..... came in the mail today - a day early! Thanks FedEX.

Now my set consist of

PS1 cd-player
Van Alstine Omega III pre-amp
Golden Tube SE-40 amp
Monitor Audio RS6 speakers

playing My Bloody Valentine - Loveless as my first pick on the new amp and I do like the warm sound though I feel the base has been accentuated a bit.

Nice amp!!!!

Very nice system AA! I like the amp and I'm sure that VA preamp is a good match with that tube amp. His preamps are made to go with tube amps. How's the treble sound on those RS6's?

That would be bass...
Pardon the correction but it's been a recurring error.

Thanks -

The treble seems good for me. The new amp has helped push the treble out a bit more than the Onkyo M-282. Listened to Kind of Blue last night and the horns really popped this time. Just to the point of over doing it at the extreme peaks. Which is fine with me cause that is something i've heard horns do in real life, imho.

So far I'm very happy with the set up. Hopefully it will sound good in a larger room when I get the chance to move the system to one. I am sure it will. As for right now, the bass is a bit boom boom and not too detailed, which either has to do with the room or some amp, or the combo of both. With the Onkyo M-282 the base was here, and sometimes too much there on certain CDs, but now it is always just bordering too much there. So I've got both bass ports plugged and that seems to be working, as well, it seems to add more detail to the low end with the bass ports plugged.

AA, I keep the port plugged on my MA S1's as well. It tightens up the bass quite a bit. It may not be deep but it definitely sounds better with the plugs in.
