I wasn't sold on the Ref 6 look immediately, but now I think the 6 and Phono 3, as well as these, look absolutely great together.
I'm very pleased that they've (re)introduced a line below the Reference. And the name Foundation Series, to me, perfectly sums up what it's about. Great choice.
And then there's the consistency within the series: solid state power supply and tube-based, 6h30p's in the "heart of the analog circuit" as they say.
While this isn't exactly entry level, I do believe ARC will benefit from having an upgrade path with products at different price levels.
This is great news! Looking forward to more Foundation Series components.
