Quicksilver Mid Monos vs AES Sixpacs

I have no experience with the Quicksilver's, but it looks like the main difference is that they'll give you 50W in ultralinear, while the AES is designed to run in triode. There are members that could describe the sonic differences between those modes much better than I.

I'm currently using the Six Pacs to drive a pair of MMG's (4 ohm, 86db) along with a Hsu Sub.

I'm not sure if you are in the NJ area, but I think that Audio Connection carries both lines.

I think your best bet would be to read the individual reviews for each piece and then go and try to listen to them. There aren't that many AES dealers (Upscale Audio and Audio Connection)and I've never looked into the Quicksilver gear (though it looks mighty nice). I seem to remember seeing at least 1 Quicksilver piece along with the Six Pacs in the listening room at Audio Connection. John Rutan might be able to give you some more info.

Hey Sean,

I understand completely. Most of my recent purchases have been here on A'gon, though I chose to purchase my Six Pacs through a dealer as I wanted to have the opportunity to hear them first. Demo pieces would be yet one other option.

Good luck :)
