The 6SE with the HF-2 could very easily be my "end of the road" setup. The only comparable rig I've heard was a Meridian G07 > 007t > Omega 2 system, which costs basically 3x my setup. |

No, and you stay away from me with them! |

The good 5U4G's are never harsh, and something like RCA coke-bottle top-getter 5U4G sounds far preferable to solid-plate Sophia 274B IME. As far as mesh 274B's, they'll work for low-power applications, but they have far lower current rating than solid-plates, so don't buy them for your 300B amps, for example. |

Major and immediate differences between 6fd7 and 6ew7 are increased gain, (now listening around 11-12 o’clock, compared with 12-1 with 6ew7), and the low end has significantly increased, extending lower and louder, creating a tighter, deeper and fuller sound. There has been no discernible differences in soundstage or instrument separation. |
