Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27?


The new LS 27 is coming to the dealers now. Called the Audio Research and they said the new LS 27 sounds better than the Ref 3 and very close to Ref 5. That is the reason why the listing price of the LS 27 is changed to around $7,000 so that it won’t affect the sales of the Ref 5 too much.

Have you heard the LS 27 and how do you like it?

This is a common comment here on A'gon.....the latest LS2X is "better" than the previous RefY. This does not say much about a company's flagship product if it is "bettered" by the middle-tier product in the following year. I suggest that you wait for the LS28 in a couple years as it will outperform the Ref5.
Every model ARC puts out is always better than the previous model.(That's what my dealer says)

jafox.. the Ref 5 is not ARCs flagship model . The Reference Anniversary edition ( $25000. ) is . And it sounds great .
