Serious thoughts about Audio Research LS 27

Hello, I'm considering to buy a second hand  LS 27, but unfortunately I cannot listen to it until I will go to pick it up, 300 km from home. Is there anybody here who is able to describe its sound maybe comparing it with the LS 22, LS 25 mk1, LS 25 mk2, Ref 1 and Ref 3?

Thank you very much!

Kindest regards

Thank you gbryant.

And yes, I like ARC sound very much, I've owned an amazing LS 25 mk1 but I'm afraid that the LS 27 would be more similar to the LS 25 mk2 which should be more analytic than fascinating and emotional, with lightweight bass and fatiguing highs.

Could you tell me something more about the matter?

Thank you!

I had the LS25 Mkii and never really could love it. Maybe I was looking for tube warmth and this one doesn’t have it, the analytical description is apt. Of the ones you mentioned, I would go for the REF3
