Upgrade from VSI75 ???
 

Hi all,

I have the VSI75 Int. with the K120 tubes. I have had it for 3 years now and I am curious what some of you think if I was to upgrade to the REF75/LS28, would this be a significant enough step up from the VSI75 ? I have a pair of Sonus Faber Olympica 3 speakers in a room which measure 12' x 18'.

Thank you,

Paul

I have the ref75se and ref5se with SF Oly III's the Ref75 is fine for my listening space, approx 14'x20', But I don't play loud music, but when I have pushed it a bit, it's not quite there.
Maybe you could consider the ref150se as these seem to be readily available for 9k to 10,5K. Great reviews with SF, the 150se even edged out the GS150 by one persons review.

Best of luck

Thanks JPrest for the insight, according to my wife, i do play it loud, but, IMO, not to loud :)....I don't go past the half way mark much on my VSI75. The "newish" REF150 is tough to find used in Canada, hence my eyes are set on the REF75, possibly a new one.

I typically play rock to Jazz type music. I live a few hours from a dealer, and he has a small operation out of his house, so, he typically doesn't keep much in the way of in-stock ARC gear, if any.

However, with a new job i just started I will be travelling a bit across the country over the next year and therefore hope to arrange a session with a dealer who may have my speakers (or equivalent) and the REF75 so I can hear it for my self.
