I did end up trying the Shunyata Denali 6000S with the DSP5500 and DSP5200 legacy speakers and observed results similar to those with the 8kSE. I would even say that it even tamed some of the notorious bass from the 5500's. If you are considering buying new speakers or amplifiers, I would encourage you to consider a in home demo of the Shunyata products first. It might just be the sound you seek.
