Audio Research Ref 6 vs Ref 5 SE

Have not compared the two, but mind telling us where to purchase a new Ref 6 for 10 grand?  Based upon reviews thus far I'd take that deal in a millisecond..........who can I write the check to?

Well for that price it is a no brainer...  I just sold my REF 5SE and will receive the REF 6 this Friday.  I'll be sure to share my experience.

Have you received your Ref 6? Any comments of your new toys? How’s the sound quality compare with Ref 5 SE?

Yes I did !! It's early in the break in process still, but the first thing I noticed is that it's a little less upfront sounding.  I would say it's also more natural sounding, but also faster sounding and fuller too... 

Every time I listen it impresses me.   :)

So I'll say the REF 6 is in a different league entirely. The sound quality over the REF 5SE is substantial...   I'm really just so impressed with ARC !! WOW :)
