Never heard the 601 unfortunately. If they are much like the 701, I'm not all that interested anyways.

All that's to say get a 501 used, get it recabled with some 701 pads and it's a very nice little gem that will scale very, very nicely and do midrange that will leave you happy destined to become a classic around here. |
