Anyone heard AES/Cary Sixpac monos?

I am very interested in this product. Has anyone auditioned these or currently own these? What about the Jensen copper in oil cap upgrade? Thanks for your time, attention and feedback.

That's an interesting question. Let me ask you a question to help clarify the root of your inquiry: What aspects of large scale classical music are you most interested in? The low end is phenominal for a 50 Watt tube amp. The imaging is supurb. The detail is presented in an appropriate (albeit very revealing way). Dynamic is an appropriate adjective in both the large scale and small scale sense of the word. These are characteristics that I enjoy in all music, so it would be difficult for me to weight any of those qualities for a particular genre.

My one concern in your description is "the low end seems to be "more appropriate" you don't feel it in your chest". I would have some issues with that. What type of speakers are you using? I know with my Rogue Magnum M120's at 60 watts triode, I sure feel it in my chest.

My frame of reference comes from using a Rotel RMB-1095 with this speaker setup. When I put in Nine Inch Nails "Pretty Hate Machine" and let the db's fly, I'm not disappointed in the least. I can hear (and feel) the double-kick work articulated on Tool's "Lateralis" release, but it's expressed differently than with the solid state beast. I'm glad you brought up the Rogue Magnum M-120's. Troutki has a pair and we were just talking about doing a shootout sometime.
