    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    I really wish they'd do a smaller pair of monoblocks, though seems unlikely. 100 watt monos would be awesome!

    That would be cool.

    I'm wondering about a GS150 or a REF75 on the Avantgarde's. Hmmm....

    Ref 75 would be plenty Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    Mike...any speaker combos working especially nicely with the ARC? I can't see the VT-80 driving the Magicos! You will definitely need at least GS150/Ref150SE but more likely Ref250SE to drive the Magicos, especially for low end heft and for full dynamics.

    So far, the Audio Research sounds wonderful on Magico and KEF.

    I listened for a good hour and then put the MIT USB and one set of MIT Evo IC's from the K-01x to the REF6 (doing an experiment). Damn, what a huge huge improvement with just those two cables! I will add the speaker cables and the rest on Wednesday after a little more burn in.

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    Is that the VT80 amp? How is it compared let’s say the Ref75 or Ref110?
    The wattage difference I know but....
    I really don’t understand the pecking order of the amp line up.

    Yes, it's the VT80. The REF75SE is better for sure. KT150 vs KT120 alone. The REF75SE is one of my favorite ARC pieces ever. If you have efficient speakers, it's truly world class.

    I'm sitting here in amazement. This REF6 is truly magnificent. I'm an unapologetic ARC fan. Always have been, always will be. I cannot believe how quiet and good this ARC setup sounds.

    IMO the ARC Ref 6 is the single best component ARC makes right now. Too bad the italians fired the guy who had designed it. Their strategic planning at its best.

    I'm debating between the REF3 phono and the REF10 phono. I'm hoping someone who has compared both can chime in.

    The characteristics of the KT150's shines through. Big bold sound. Big bass.

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    I’ve only heard modern ARC gear twice, last year, in New Orleans. It was fantastic. Ref6 Pre and Ref150 amp with KT150 along with CD9. Wow. Speakers were the diminutive System Audio Pandion 30. The bass was simply mind blowing which I also attribute to the kt150. Those dual 5” drivers conjured an incredible low end that I could never imagine coming out of a 40 lb speaker.

    I have the Ref 10 with the Anniversary pre and believe the separate power supplies are very important
    Amplification is the ref250 se
    I still think the Ref 3 phono is very good have not heard in my system

    Sounds very nice right out of the gate! Of course I'll be really interested in how they sound after they run in for awhile, but I'm already pleased.

    I know that you and I have spoken a few times about ARC Joe, but it's taken me this long to get off my butt and make a move! Mike sealed the deal with his strong endorsement of the combo.

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    As the REF10, REF6 and VT80 approach 500 hours, I remain amazed by the sonic prowess of Audio Research gear. There is no one who could confuse ARC with typical tube equipment flaws (flabby bass, etc). The ARC gear excels in all categories offering strong bass, control, resolution, detail and a good dose of tube harmonic richness.

    Again, I remain an unapologetic ARC fan!

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    As a "new to the fold" ARC owner - REF 6 and REFERENCE 75 SE now at over 400 hours - I concur.

    Sitting here listening to Sinatra "Songs For Swinging' Lovers", which I've heard countless times, and I'm bowled over at how involving it sounds.

    Congratulations Rance,

    So the 75wpc from the Ref75SE is enough for the 4367?

    I'm so happy for you!

    Thanks Joe!

    Yes...the 75 SE seems plenty. In my large, well treated room I can get over 100dB at low 40's on the volume. And absolutely no congestion or hardening on the JBLs as you would expect.

    Seems like after about 350 hours things really broke right. Tonal balance, clarity and coherence......maybe still not there, we'll see.

    Should have added...amp meters showing around 30 watts at this point.

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    OMG! That’s awesome. Full break in should occur after 600 hours. Hard to believe but it’s true.

    The Ref75 SE is a cracker of an amplifier, I wish I still had mine. The midrange is just so smooth.

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research



    Yesterday I passed the magic mark of 600 hours on the REF10. This preamp never ceases to amaze me. It does everything well - everything. Is it the best I've owned? Yes. Is it the best I've heard? Yes. It's perfect.

    The REF6 is close to 500 hours and absolutely superb as well. It's so "alive" and dynamic. Amazing bass.

    Thanks for pointing the ARC trip thread out, Mike. I missed it. I guess for christmas I'll have to settle for a vacuum tube chess set. I have to wait until early next year for the Ref 10 phono which should be just long enough for you to complete the phono burn in and make your report.
