Not directly, but have heard both at different times. The HiB OPTs make a big difference to the Meishu and make it more neutral and transparent, while retaining the best elements of the romantic Meishu character. Also, the choice of 6SN7 in the preamp section and the 300B tube really do have a big impact on the Sonics.
The Quest Silver's are more neutral and transparent and may have better dynamics. They don't have the same Romantic lilt as the Meishu, but are not grating and listening is always relaxing.
The silver Meishu is definitely not as "tight" as the Quest Silvers, esp if you are using an M3 or better preamp on the Quests. Speakers matter, too.
Drop Bob Neill at Amherst Audio a line and see what he can add.
I own the Meishu silvers. I use them with K speakers and an AN CD4.1x digital source.
