I can nearly purchase a set of 6K's if I collect everybody's 2 cents here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Having read all of your thoughts, a few questions come to my mind.

1) If using 3 6K's up front, can one justify using 6K's at the rear or are let's say DSP5000's / DSP33 sufficient? What can I expect?

2) Is DSP the way forward or are there specific advantages going with passive speakers?

3) Can somebody quantify the benefit from being able to use upsampling. So 96khz 6K's vs. the old model?

4) When using old spec 6K's, is it worth going for an 861 v2 or will a 568.2 be more than adequate?

To comment on Toothdoc's post, I wouldn't even consider driving 802's with a 'consumer' marantz amp...

Thanks to all

Richard
