Hi there,
I used an older Siltech gold/silver I/C for several years before replacing it with the Sky, but I'm sorry I can't recall the exact model number. What I can tell you, if it helps, is that the Sky was quieter and less 'hashy', yet still retained the excellent high frequency definition of the Siltech. The Siltech was a little etched, and less natural sounding on vocals.
I sold the Sky to a guy who had a Gryphon/MBL system, which had a spotlit and somewhat hot treble that he was trying to tame. The Sky did the job nicely without compromising the incredible resolution and dynamics of that system.
As I said, my Siltech was an older model than the one you mentioned, so this comparison may not be a fair one.
FYI Sky was replaced in my system by the Gabriel Gold Revelation.
Cheers
Mick
