Maybe it is just different systems and system synergy. But I was not impressed with the LS27. Originally I was going to upgrade to an LS27 from an LS25 mk2. My dealer was going to give me a great deal on his demo unit. But after having it in my system for a while I just missed my LS25 mk2. The LS27 did some things much better but to me sounded thin. It lacked presence. I thought at best it was a side ways move.
The Ref 5se on the other hand has the best attributes of both and more. It has the more spacious detailed sound stage of the LS27. But also has the presence and depth I felt it lacked. I did not think they were close. But again this is in my all ARC system. Mated with a different amp it may not sound the way it does with my amp.
