Maybe look for a Ref 3 if you want to stay with ARC. I had a LS25 MKII for a week in my system on loan and it didn't do it for me. I preferred my former ModWright SWL 9.0 SE over it. Ended up with a ModWright LS36.5 which is a big step up over the LS25 MKII, at least in my system. In my system I felt the LS25 MKII was a little lean in the bass as well, not horrible but it didn't pull me into the music like the ModWright preamps do. Good luck.
Audio Research LS 25 MkII compared to actual AR production ?
Hi all,
I love the Audio Research LS25 MKII in my system, but I need to improve it in the bass area, I wish it deeper and better controlled with a new preamp. But, in the same time, I’m afraid to loose its mids and highs that are magic in my setup.
My question is: in the actual AR catalog, or the most recent one, is there a preamp that can be considered the natual successor of LS 25 MKII ?
Thanks in advance for your comments. Now I’m driving the Sophias 3 by a Spectral DMA 200S2.
