New to the M6 family. Had a DB750 for a while, the RH450, then the GB Streamliner 900 the last 6 months or so. Just picked up an M6 a couple weeks ago and have had 2 shows with it so far (classic rock covers, not really my thing, but the gigs pay).
Only sold the DB due to weight. Thought I could get away with class D amps. I've used several of the more popular ones here with varying success, but there always seemed to be something missing compared to the big guns like my DB750. When I played into the M6 for the first time I heard what I was missing. I guess I'm not a fan of those class D little guys.
The M6 took a little getting used to these past couple of weeks. My ears have grown used to the STL900, which has a bit of a dip in the upper mids coupled with my Berg HS210 cabs that have a similar dip in the same region. I plug in the M6 and hear those aggressive upper mids it sounds a bit clanky compared to what I was used to.
After a couple weeks playing it, I tried playing my STL900 again. Wow, the difference was so huge. My strings sounded dead (1 gig old) and I couldn't muster any life out of them with the EQ. At similar volume levels, the M6 sounds much more powerful. The STL900 has its own fatness, too, but I would say that it's more like getting hit in the face with bag o' lard, while the M6 is getting hit in the face with Thor's hammer wielded by the Norse god himself. The STL is fatter, but I think the M6 is still bigger sounding with more complex mids that I've been missing for a while.
I guess I'm not a class D guy. I've tried 'em, and like them well enough, but they only get me 90% there. That last 10% is what makes the experience special to me. My opinion is that the many of the class D's have great tone coming from the preamp, but the power section just doesn't get that same muscle that I hear and feel in the Mosfet-powered DB750 and M6. It's all great stuff, but I just gotta say that I'm loving my M6 right now and look forward to continuing to gain some experience with it on the gig.
