I use to have the 6900. It was one-dimensional in my system and lacking as far as involvement. But, everything(and I mean everything) is system dependent so don't go by my experiences. In your room, with your speakers and source it could be a different experience. I've heard of plenty others who enjoy the 6900. One thing, the build quality and power is excellent. For sweet sounding powerful integrateds you can look at the Plinius 9200, Dussun V8i (imho a best buy in audio), and the NAD M3 (another high end sleeper). All these are powerful and very good high end integrateds.
