As good as the RS6's were sounding something must have still been wrong to my ears to make me miss the OML1's. Once I fire up the OML1's I notice the flow of the music and with the RS6's I notice fast transients. I think they are both good speakers for the same list price but I now know I am more of a rhythm and flow fan than a fast transient fan.

I almost think the RS6's would sound good with a tube amp. I am curious how they will sound with the class D Onkyo. My complaints other than a lack of flow and rhythm came from using the AQ Slates. Once they were replaced the system improved. My dream speaker may be one that combines the best of both.
What truly puzzles me in the months I've followed your various threads about going back and forth between preferring the Monitor Audios or the OML 1's is: why does your dog have a bedroom?

That issue aside, I think your problem is probably just that you've outgrown the $1K price range for speakers... I'm sure both the RS6 and OML 1 are excellent speakers in their own rights, but maybe it's time you start saving for the next level... I'm sure your electronics are good enough to handle anything up to at least $5K... So you could get speakers that combine the best of both the OML 1 and the RS6 and then some...
