    Not heard the new Silver 6s, but have owned the RS6s for around 6 years. Loved them. Really does depend what amplification you have. They don't appreciate upfront presentation and/or crummy room acoustics.

    I've always found they go well with Arcam, Creek, Roksans (Kandy or Caspian) or any class A amp. Avoid IMO Cyrus, Naim, Rotel... any amp that has a tendency of fatiguing the listener.

    I replaced my Arcam with a Leema Pulse: Leema + MAs very good combo. However, with over compressed CDs (remastered) they can sound a little mechanical. Now I have PMC TB2i with the Leema. Great combo.
