System 6

System Six lives in our most compact demo space — a 12 × 15 ft room designed to mimic a spare bedroom or bonus room, demonstrating how excellent sound can fit into everyday spaces. This setup proves that impressive performance doesn't require oversized rooms or oversized budgets.

Currently showcased are the Q Acoustics Concept 50 floorstanding speakers — praised for their "expansive soundstage, superb clarity, and refined bass performance well beyond their price point". These speakers inherit advanced cabinet technology and driver innovations from Q Acoustics' flagship range, offering high-end performance with elegant, room-friendly design.

They are powered by the Unison Research Unico Primo integrated amplifier — a hybrid design widely admired as "one helluva integrated amplifier with stiff power, agility, and heart". Known for vivid dynamics, 3-dimensional soundstage, and the best of tube warmth combined with solid-state clarity, the Primo also includes both a DAC and phono stage, making it one of our all-time favorite affordable integrated amps.

Sourced via analog is the elegant Rega P3-RS turntable, fitted with a new ND5 cartridge — perfect for vinyl lovers seeking rich resolution and effortless playback. For comparison or lower-cost listening, we also rotate in the mighty Rega Brio integrated amplifier, which likewise includes both DAC and phono functionality.

Also in rotation (but not currently shown) are the Ruark R610 streaming integrated amplifier, the compact yet refined Ruark Sabre speakers, and the Q Acoustics Concept 30s for alternate system pairings.

System Six is designed to be approachable and inspiring: proof that even modest rooms, when paired with well-chosen components, can deliver remarkable, high-end sound.
