The difference between V4 and V6, to me, is that V4 had a warmer less detailed sound than V6. As time goes by V6 gets more warmth, but keeps all the details and natural sounding vocals and instruments. V6 breathes i.e a larger sound stage.

I'd fully agree with that! Got a few hundred hours on my v6 and I like it more and more each day. One thing Geir mentions is the larger (wider!) sound stage: I've also noticed far more soundstage outside the main speakers (in 2ch mode) which is most impressive.
