Specifications
The SM6 specifications are detailed in brief and then subsequently in more
detail. In the detailed version, we attemp
t 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 q
uantitative
interpretation. M easurements of the SM 6 reveal excellent results by any
standards. Tested at 115V and 230V after a 10 minute warm up period.
