Allow me to ditto the comments about set-up. It's a chore. I had 5.1s and just couldn't fall in love, despite expensive cabling, lots of tweaking in the (tube) and SACD electronics feeding them. Revealing, yes indeed. Too much so. Then I got the 7s. It isn't even close. THESE I can love. They even sound better several rooms away. And speaking of rooms, I too, believe that many naysayers who have heard these or earlier versions heard them in rooms which weren't optimal or through less than synergistic equipment choices. I hope to build a gen-u-wine listening room designed by the best of the best. THEN we'll hear what these things can do.
Don't judge the 7s from the 5.1s. I never heard the 6s.
Best regards.
