    Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    Anyone who has known me for years, knows I've always been a HUGE Audio Research fan.

    Today, Suncoast Audio in Florida proudly welcomes Audio Research products to the store. Suncoast Audio is only the second Audio Research dealer on the entire west coast of Florida.

    For me, this is personally very exciting.

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    Congratulations Mike on becoming an ARC dealer! What a terrific pickup. I personally love my ARC Ref 10 preamp and Ref CD9 player. What ARC components did you take delivery on today?

    Best of luck,
    Ken

    Hi Golum,

    Earlier this year I did a four hour audition of the Magico S7 with ARC 250SE monoblocks, ARC Reference 6 preamp, Berkeley Reference 2 DAC and the top-of-the-line MIT cable loom. I would rank the system in the top five of anything I've heard over the last 25 years. The system was extremely lifelike sounding with all the power, dynamics, size and scale of a live performance. The bass was truly visceral, you could feel it to your core, and had wonderful texture. Imaging had a laser-like focus to it. The speakers totally disappeared in the room. You really couldn't ask for anything more in my opinion.

    Best,
    Ken

    Thanks. The pairing is very popular outside the U.S. as Marc in the U.K. will attest to.

    And yes, I do need to update the signature!

    Mike, you might want to play around with the display set to OFF with the REF 10, For my part I find a subtle yet percievable improvment on performance.

    A hearty congratulations Mike. I wish we were so blessed here in the Portland, OR area to have brick & mortar on the scale you've brought to S. Florida.

    How fast can you turn your shop into a fallout shelter? Stay safe! I hear you have a potentially shitty weekend ahead.

    Thanks guys! It's all ARC day at Suncoast Audio. Got to get some hours on these new babies. I have every ARC piece going right now. Ha!

    As for the hurricane, yeah, even Floridians are concerned about this one. She's a big sucker.

    Congrats, Mike.

    ARC really turned a corner sonically recently. Not the dry, whitish sound of the past 20 years.

    It's sounding splendid with the Lumin. Like you, I was "taken back" by the REF6. Its like my beloved REF5SE, but only BETTER!

    Most definitely can attest to that! Good luck with the new product line, it will be a massive hit for sure. Can't wait for you to demo the S7's with the Ref250SE's and hear your feedback....

    If I ever do get back down there, I will be sure to let you know. It would be wonderful to meet you, check out the store, and see all of the changes to the area since I was there last.

    Being a previous Floridian, and having spoken to many friends and family scattered around FLA, this is definitely one NOT to take lightly.

    Be safe and prepared.

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Audio Research

    Audio Research gives you that tube like tonality with solid state slam and dynamics. My engineer friend was pointing out the generous transformers used in ARC products. I really love ARC sound. I'm still sitting here with my jaw hanging open listening to the REF6. The REF10 we know is world class, but I just can't believe how much of a performance the REF6 is over the REF5SE.

    Most interested in your considerations Mike when you have the opportunity to hook up a pair of S7 MKII's via< REF250se < REF10, I am already running the latter two and am being coerced into the former.

    S7 mk2's?

    I'm saving my pennies for REF250SE's and a REF3 phono and, and, and...

    I've been running the REF6 with the Bryston 28SST3 on the S5mk2's to break things in and it sounds fabulous. The REF6 is so dynamic and lively with amazing bass, yet retains that wonderful tonality. I've more than once mumbled to myself, "my God this is a great preamp."

    I adored my REF5SE, but this REF6 is better, no doubt about it.

    Excellent. It's emotionally engaging but very neutral too. No coloration. Dynamic, punchy, great bass!!! It doesn't get that hot either. Four small tubes. Small footprint too. Love the new looks!
