I have had my "Sol's" for almost a year now. I have them paired with the Viva Aurora amplifiers. The 6.5s love tube amps and large open spaces. As you may know, the Vivas run at 22 watts per channel. My system cranks! They fill my listening room which is 30' wide and 15' deep. I have the speakers approx 12' apart (from about 8' prior). Increasing the width did increase the stage, with a little imaging loss, but not much.
I am mainly a vinyl guy, but the Sol's really bring out my digital. CDs sound nice, almost as good as my vinyl and, believe me, I have junk for digital (a Sony DS-7000, old DVD player with no a/d converter). My analog rig is much more extravegant.
I have found that dealing with the folks at Soliloquy to be a great experience. They are easy to get a hold of and do return calls promptly.
For the money, i think it is very hard to beat the 6.5s. I would like to see them get more press on the high end audio side. They seem to be grouped with home theatre crowd. This is a serious audiophile speaker.
Thanks, Derek
