The New Audio Research Reference 6

Anyone else here have the new "6"?
If so, comment about its sound and presentation.

Otherwise, the REF5 SE is going to be very tough to beat (no pun), especially, when fitted w/ REF XL or OPUS cabling via Transparent.

Later on, will we see/hear a Ref 6 SE model?

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Have Ref6's started shipping?  If so, any impressions?

Bump; has anyone heard the 6?

Yes, I got my Ref6 last week.  It is significantly more detailed and "musical" than my Ref5se was.  It feels faster, and more musically communicative.  It actually seems like they could have charged quite a bit more for these improvements.  Every song has details never heard before.  I had no idea there was still so much information to be revealed.  
Honestly, I was quite happy with my 5se.  But this is really quite an improvement.

Thanks! for sharing- dbarger

what other gear is in your system, including cabling?
Happy Listening!
