Soundoc: Which Ref2, MK1 or MK2, have you auditioned against Ref3? I am curious about Ref2 MK1 vs. Ref3 in terms of the warmness and sweetness.
Thanks.
Jshaw1004: The Ref 2 MK1 is the warmest, the Ref 2 MKII sounds differently however better, the Ref 3, at the risk that I am disparaged, sounds to "Spectral like": But it shows all, nothing remains in the dark.
GREGM, The device under discussion is the Ref 3 (Mark 1). It is highly unlikely that there will ever be a Ref 3 Mark 4. But if you are thinking about a Ref 4 instead, you may want to come back in approximately 4 years to find out how it will sound.
