Default Ref 160M is now on the ARC website

Looks great but why are the specifications not listed for hum and noise and power supply energy storage. Also note THD higher than Ref 150se and GS 150 with 140 watts instead of 150.
Doesn't mean it won't sound great but it is puzzling. Maybe sacrifices had to be made for new circuit with auto biasing? Perhaps an engineer can weigh in.
