Hello, first post for me. Hope it is useful.
I have an ARC Ref 6 and VT80SE driving Linn Majik 140 speakers. They are 4 ohm 88 dB/Watt/m. The amp has plenty of power to drive the Linns. This pair of ARC components is really delicate and beautiful to listen too with nice timbre. I preferred them over the Ayre AX-5 Twenty and Bel Canto Black system. I highly recommend the Ref 6 if you can work it in. It really lets the source shine as it is super transparent. Believe me, the LS28 is really good too. Especially at 1/2 the price as the Ref.
I considered the Ref 75SE as well but opted for the VT80SE because it was less bulky (it had to fit on my current furniture). I think these two amps sound pretty similar. Probably the Ref 75 has the slight edge.
I answered your post because I am also planning on possibly upgrading to the Sabrinas. My dealer has the Wilson line and I will be listening to the ARC amp-preamp with them soon. I will keep you posted on the results.
