Bass a little too slow and sluggish with minor quirks in the midrange-treble transition.

A+ Tuning
A+ Tech

The MYER-AUDIO SLIIVO SLT6 is a pure 6BA design using branded Sonion and Knowles armatures, with two dip-switches that enable four tuning combinations. Published specs list 50–65 Ω impedance and 113–116 dB sensitivity, and the list price sits around $450 (commonly discounted via retailers).

Community impressions describe a neutral baseline with an optional bass lift via the switches, which primarily increase low-end gain while keeping mids relatively clean. Reports consistently highlight a wide soundstage, clean separation, and solid imaging performance for the price tier.

As an all-BA set, macro-dynamics and bass texture don’t match the physicality of strong dynamic-driver hybrids; however, the SLT6 trades that for fast transients, high detail retrieval, and well-defined imaging—traits that several reviewers point out, alongside notably resolving treble. Build and ergonomics are solid (stabilized-wood faceplates, resin shells), and the switch system adds genuine flexibility, though listeners seeking DD-like slam may find the low end more controlled than visceral.
