Well, after 5 months my Ref 5 SE is over 400 hrs - 410 to be exact. Like others have written, it has gone through ups and downs as the hours have added up.
So, how does it sound right now? Fantastic!
My wife and I just listened to the latest release from Fourplay (Esprit de four). The system has never sounded sooo musical.
The soundstage is very wide. Details such as the texture of the guitar strings or the extention of the cymbals is just wonderful. I also continue to be impressed with the bottom end. And, with all of that detail, this thing is not fatiguing at all! We can listen and listen for hours.
Definitely a keeper.
I can't wait to hit 600 hrs!
