Being a BAT fan and former owner (VK-300SE) and former ARC owner (LS-1, LS-9, VT-100, VT-100 Mk-III) methinks thy doth endorseth too much! While I've never heard the LS-26, I have heard the Ref-3 (T.H.E. Show in Las Vegas). I don't believe the gulf is that wide... My personal pref is for BAT -incredibly good.
