Review: Soliloquy 6.5 Speaker


Category: Speakers

The Soliloquy 6.5 is a wonderful window into what the audio world needs, quality. The more I listen to these speakers the more I like them.

I have been going back and forth between the tube (p2000t)and solid state (p2000b) Marsh preamps, which are amazing in their own right, and the 6.5 is neutral enough to allow all of the character inherent to each preamp speak so clearly. The tweeter and midrange driver are crossed over very nicely. This is the best part for me. The detail in Mark Knopfler's stratocaster and Joni Mitchell's voice was enlightning. I found detail and nuance I hadn't heard before at the $6000-6500 price range.

The bass quality is worthy of note. The deepest basslines and organ tones were reproduced solidly and with a high level of detail.

The Soliloquy 6.5 is definately worth checking out. It represents a great value when considering that it keeps up with the likes of Wilson, Aerial, JM, etc... If you think that last statement was bold.....go hear the 6.5!

I just got these 6.5s and what really amazed me was the imaging. They seem to do magic filling my larger room 20'X30'. I have lots of different speakers(Acoustat+,JosephAudioRM7,Silverline Sonatinas,Cybele)and none of these have produced the spacious sound like the Soliloquy 6.5.... Of course a $6k speaker compared with the others at $3k. The acoustics are fantastic the way the music blends creating a wonderfully vivid soundstage. I'm experimenting with cables & placement and looking forward to others to share their setup ideas.
