Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade.


UPDATE””””””””” I just got off the phone with Audio Research about the REF 6 to 6SE upgrade and I was told that the price of the upgrade went up from last year from $3500 to $5000. I was pretty shocked. Also he said that it will not have to be done by the service dept as they have a guy who strictly does Ref 6 upgrades. as all parts are in stock and it will only take 14 days turn around time.

Same as my Ref 750s. Those are here to stay for good.

Hopefully you have good air conditioning, those amps will generate a lot of heat. I bought a krell amp from a guy that was using the audio research 610T amps with the kt120 upgrade, and he had to figure in a bigger central air unit. He was using those amps just to power the midrange/tweeter and a pair of krell fpb 750 mcx for the bass. It sounded really good with the apogee divas.

@invalid   Yes. As a matter of fact I’m installing a brand new Mitsubishi 18k btu split system AC unit. Also these REF 750 amps are also upgraded to the KT150s from the KT120. So I am sure there will be good heat from them. My Krell FPB 600 put out a lot of heat and I’m sure these would be more. 

I figure that if my grandson gets into audio that by 2070 he'll be able to buy an upgrade to his Audio Research Reference 50 Mark 15 for a mere $$25,000!
