Fairly balanced as far as Westones go, but still suffers from subpar definition.

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.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D+
  • Uneven emphasis across the spectrum keeps the presentation unsettled and awkward. Acoustic instruments lose their natural body.

Average Technical Grade

D+
  • Textural information blurs together, making the stage feel pinched and gray. Instrument edges blur together frequently.
Bass D
Bass remains light-handed, hinting at rumble without delivering real weight. It keeps out of the way but never excites.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble C-
Highs are present enough yet carry a bit of grain and splash. Busy mixes can still feel a bit splashy.
Dynamics D
The presentation feels restrained, with transients arriving blunted and slow. Rhythms lack the expected drive.
Details D
The overall picture is serviceable yet stripped of the tiny flourishes that add realism. Layering lacks consistent clarity.
Imaging C-
Depth hints are present though they rarely extend far beyond the stage front. Movement effects are understandable.
Gaming D+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency. Value-to-cost may not be optimal for gaming-focused users.
