Some people have said that the Six Packs are better than the Cary V12i (they share similar designs as AES is sort of the lab for future Cary products). I owned the V12i and prior to purchasing it thought hard about getting the Six Packs. I just got a better deal on the V12i so I went with that.
If they are indeed better, or even if they equal the V12i, you'll be pretty happy with the sound. Especially if you pop in some NOS EL-34 tubes. If you can swing it, get the oil cap upgrade and have the plastic speaker posts swapped for gold plated ones.
