Yikes! What an endorsement for ARC! 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.
Consider this, the LS26 is NOT an upgraded LS25MK11, no 25 can be converted to a 26, the 26 is much closer to the REF 3 in fact the 26 beats the Ref 2, ask any ARC dealer. I have the LS26, it would take a very good deal to make me move up to the REF 3
