    Back to the MA RS6's. Listening sessions can get messy.

    Well the RS6's continue to impress. Tight and defined bass along with great midrange and detailed highs. The AntiCables have really created synergy in my system.

    I am listening to a modern recording of "West Side Story" and the dynamics and punch are amazing. Last night due to a party below me I pulled out the Telarc recording of the 1812 Overture with the recorded canons. I was impressed with both the sound and excursion of the drivers. At one point I was afraid the woofer cone was coming my way but the speakers handled it well and the party quieted down.

    I am glad I did not jump the gun and sell them or give them away. Maria and Tony are singing "Tonight" and I believe.

    The MA RS6's are still in use. I am still surprised by their transformation. Much of the complaints I had that were attributed to the speakers such as cabinet or driver colorations were not from the speakers. Classical music is more enjoyable with the deeper bass. They now image better than I thought possible. Everything I have said negative about the speakers were based on AQ speaker cables. They deserve the Stereophile Class B rating.
