Ref75se

Sometimes the right buyer comes along quickly and the price is right.  I have a REF75SE and it's the best amp I've owned so far.  I bought mine at a great price so that helped.  

The Ref 150se was the best audio component for the $ that I have ever owned.

It is a world class amp that could fetch twice the price based on its performance.

That is your reason.  They are great amps and will sell quickly for good money.

I run Krell power amps but for nearly 40 years most of my pre-amps and phono amps have been AR and have served me excellently.

So, given so many who love AR, isn't that good reason to dive in?

Thanks to all for your insights.

 I am slowly upgrading my shop system and I am trying to do it with some forethought.

As of now here’s where I’m at.

ref5se

forte III speakers with GR research crossover’s , braced cabinets, no rez, damped horns

Canare and DH labs

Carver tfm45 updated/ overhaul by Nelion audio.

I am ok with my amp, but I know there’s definitely room for improvement there.

Sure is an over abundance of options from when I started my “stereo system “ in the 60’s/70’s.

ref 5 se linestage certainly deserves a matching arc reference amp downstream of it! -- even a ref 110, now reasonably priced - simply a superb amp
