ARC seems to have good balance of both detail and musicality.
Phantom or 202 may be more "accurate" and neutral, which may (or may not) come across as less musical for my taste.
Thank you for your input. I may buy the Phantom and do AB compare with REF5SE and sell either one afterwards  Hardest job will be convincing my wife why I need to buy another equipment so soon after getting REF5SE  |
Want to add that the guy with the Sasha-Wadia-Krell combo likes his Phantom better than ARC Ref5SE in his system.
So I think at this level there is no absolute best. It's between Ref5SE and Phantom, just as said before, about preference and synergy.
I will be very pleased to hear from you what your comparings are between ARC and Krell.
And buy a nice present also for your wife!
