Anyone heard the Soliloquy 6.5??


Any thoughts on the new flagship from Soliloquy?
Like... dislike??
Any comments appreciated as I am looking at buying
a pair but have not heard them.

I have a pair of 6.2's which are very similar to the 6.5 and they rock, roll and play any other type of music I can send them. They are really nice sounding speakers. I have had many pairs of speakers and I would say on a few of them excel over the Soliloquy, ie Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen III's ($4700 retail). Good luck.

I had a very long test with the 6.5 (20 hrs. of listening over a three day weekend) and I must say that while I enjoyed them, my Tyler Acoustic Linbrooks (at almost 2000 dollars less) was a better speaker across the board. The 6.5 seemed grainy and tizzy when directly compared. Bass was deeper but less focussed. Check out the Linbrooks if you can!

Having said this, I also auditioned a lower model Soliloquy (can't remember the designation off hand) and found them to be blanced and completely believable. I would have bought these and saved around 4000 smackers!
The Soliloquy 6.5 is a very musical loudspeaker, and especially likes fairly beefy single-ended triode amps (using the 845 tube for example). In my experience, it does not like solid state nearly as much. I chose to carry something else in the same general size/price/performance category, but the Soliloquy 6.5 with the right amp is lovely.
