No I am going to leave well enough alone. After several years of moving speakers back and forth it is nice to sit and listen.

Listening to the Cowboy Junkies "The Trinity Sessions" and my system is musical, detailed and rhythmic. What a great sound and I am glad I finally found it with my system.

I took a friend out for dinner and when we returned she came up to see where I put my new art piece. I turned the stereo on and she said wow you have surround. I smiled and said no I just have stereo. She was not used to the depth and width along with good imaging that she thought she was listening to surround.

Since the new placement I have lost my prejudice against metal drivers. All thinness I have complained of in the past is gone. Now after several years I am hearing these speakers at their best. Glad I did not sell or give them away.

It shows you that all metal tweeters are not created equal. Mr. P's f52s have metal tweeters and he loves the sound.

All drivers in the RS6 are ceramic coated aluminum magnesium. Now in their new position they sound very uniform while using the same materials from tweeter to mid/woofers.

It has been nice enjoying the music. As I was getting ready this morning I was listening to "Gershwin's World". Everything is sounding so good. I have had no interest in switching to my other speakers. I am glad I did not buy new speakers but discovered how good the RS6's can be. I have wanted a pair of speakers I could leave in place and enjoy long term. I had the speakers and I finally found the place. Now I need to retract every negative thing I have said about the speakers.

The combination of Marantz SA8001, Goertz TQ2 IC, Krell S-300i, Rocket 44's and Monitor Audio RS6's create a sound that is on the warm side of neutral, detailed with very good imaging. Of course the better the recording the better the sound. Of course vinyl is IMHO a step up in performance. Yes folks I am finally happy.

Congrat's on finding audio nirvana! That's quite a nice system you have there JM.
