Sennheiser Monitor 6 DAS Speaker (Single)
Sennheiser Monitor 6 DAS Speaker (Single)
Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The label "monitor loudspeaker" is thrown around as casually as conversation at a cocktail party, but few speakers actually live up to the title. The Monitor 6 by DAS (distributed in the United States by Sennheiser) is one that does. A true monitor loudspeaker, the two-way Monitor 6 combines detail and accuracy with high power handling and remarkable bass response, all in a bookshelf-size enclosure.
The Monitor 6 driver complement features a 6.5-inch polypropylene bass-midrange unit with a stiff cast aluminum frame and a 0.75-inch soft-dome, fluid-cooled tweeter, which is surrounded by a proprietary "waveguide" technology called LQS (see FAQ for more information). The rear-ported enclosure is built of medium-density fiberboard, while rigidity and cosmetics are increased by screw-on wood side panels.
When it comes to sound, the Monitor 6s is big, open, warm, and easy. There's never any feeling of strain or edge, and yet there's plenty of detail, texture, and an array of tone colors that would have made Monet grin from ear to ear. Vocals have a lovely, natural presentation, with no sense of nasality or box coloration. The high frequencies are the way we like them: extended, creamy, and rather sweet, yet when asked to they can snarl with the raunchiest electric guitar licks. Perhaps the most surprising of the Monitor 6's many qualities is the bass, which not only reaches to the manufacturer's mid-40 Hz rating but does so with authority, weight, and terrific resolution. And the Monitor 6 will play plenty loud, so not only can you rock, you can also use them as a serious home theater speaker (again see FAQ). You will want to feed them a healthy dose of power, though, because at 85 dB these are not the most sensitive of speakers.
For hookups, the Monitor 6's three-way posts are of high quality, but we lament the inability to attach spade lugs to them, limiting us to banana plugs and bare wire.
Although the price may seem like a lot for such a compact speaker, a host of fine qualities makes the Monitor 6 an excellent value and earns it a very enthusiastic recommendation. --Wayne Garcia
