Well guys, its time for me to fess up! I’m the new owner of the Ref610T’s. I am uber excited to get them in my system in the next couple weeks! I must say it was the recording Mike made that took me across the finish line. I am and have been an ARC fan for some time now and as much as I like them, I have to say the 610T’s have the ARC soul but a more alive and present (unveiled - if that is the right word) than the ARC’s I’ve owned or heard, for that matter previously. I am replacing a nice pair of Ref210’s that I dearly love.I also have to mention this is my 2nd purchase from Mike and I know a couple other audiophile friends who will echo that the Experience is excellent and Mike is great to work with! He made me a great deal and was never wishy washy about anything while he made it easy to do business with. My final note is my local dealer is excellent to work with but does not trade quite as much in the used arena. I now have the best of both worlds locally for most new stuff i buy and Mike who has earned my respect and future business too. Olskool
