I drove Revel Salons, Dynaudio 3.3's and Vienna Acoustic Mahlers with my Model 6's.
I suggest that you ignore the advice in the manual about putting the amps in standby - while it is true that the input circuitry remains powered up in standby, the amps take hours to reach peak performance after being taken out of standby. My DartZeel is likewise said to sound just as good when powered up from standby, but neither it nor the Model 6's do - there is no substitute for 24/7 operation with solid-state gear in a high-rez system. In short, leave them powered up.
Last, the amps sound best when run from the batteries and in fully balanced configuration. Enjoy.
