| Specifications |
| The SM6 specifications are detailed in brief and then subsequently in more | |
| ||
| detail. In the detailed version, we attempt to explain the significance of each | |
| specification. |
|
| The correlation between published specifications and sonic quality can be | |
| unreliable. A list of numbers reveals virtually nothing. All technical | |
| measurements must be subject to qualitative as well as quantitative | |
| interpretation. Measurements of the SM6 reveal excellent results by any | |
| standards. Tested at 115V and 230V after a 10 minute warm up period. | |
