Marcelo, you are likely correct, but our hypothesis need be verified by someone more knowledgeable than us. When do you expect to receive the two units?
Expected delivery at my place is late this week (maybe as late as friday or even saturday) but this will be confirmed to me tomorrow or tuesday.
Word is that both units should be in Spain by now....

I can't wait, I´ve been going around in circles thinking of the Ref 2 for a long time (well, not that long, I´ve only had the LS25MK2 for 1 year...), as well as upgrading the Krell 300c.

Hard to know at this stage, I doubt many (if any) have had the chance to listen to either one.
However, I´ve had the KCT at home and was sent back, in my system, I liked a lot better the AR.
Anyhow, 35k$ would probably result in 50k$ in Europe...out of my league. I´d rather spend the 50k in a pair of Statements...
brgds, marcelo
