Quicksilver Mid Monos vs AES Sixpacs

Chapman,

I own the AES Sixpacs. They are great amps and sound fantastic with my 8 ohm + speakers, but I have found that they lose dynamics and transient attack on lower impedance speakers.

I haven't heard a Chapman, but these are built like tanks, and sound excellent when driven within their limits. Depending on that impedance curve though, I might recommend a high current SS amp.

Can I edit that? I meant to address that to "Sean"... Not sure where I got that "chapman" from...

Hey Sean,

I understand completely. Most of my recent purchases have been here on A'gon, though I chose to purchase my Six Pacs through a dealer as I wanted to have the opportunity to hear them first. Demo pieces would be yet one other option.

Good luck :)

I owned the Mid Monos for a while and found them to be very smooth and sweet. I was using KT88s. I would have kept them but my speakers needed more power. The Sixpacs have more versatility with triode mode. That would interest me if I were in your shoes.
