When we purchased Beolab 9s the 1s were moved to the rears and the 6000s stored. In other words I have not listened to them for several years except as rears. Last night I reconnected them to the Masterlink system in place of the 4000s we had been using. I have read so many negative comments about the 6000s I did this with a little trepidation, but they look better as they will now have an Avant between them due to purchasing a new BV7 for the main room. </p><p>Anyway, I must say I am amazed at good they sound. I had really forgotten just how good they are. Even the amount of bass surpises me.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
