Quicksilver Mid Monos vs AES Sixpacs

Anybody done this comparison? I am considering both on my amp search, both are very similar in cost, architecture, reliability and so forth, but which sounds better? My speakers are Chapman T-6's(89db 4ohm but pretty benign impedance curve)Thanks

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...
