Default Audio Research Ref 6 new in box

Looking at a deal on a new in box Ref 6.
How far down might prices go due to the release of the 6SE?

The reference 6 can be updated to “SE” status, so value should not be reduced by much.
Also the SE model has a higher list price justifying the difference.

Trying to confirm if $9000 is correct.

Sounds very good if truly new in box. The upgrade is $3K so that would put you at 12K for an SE which is a very good figure for latest version.
