So how about an update Marc?? Now that your are minus a few pieces of your McIntosh gear where are you on the ARC quest?

I have the cd6 player/dac and ordered the ref5se yesterday. Should have in a week, but dealer letting me have theirs in the meantime. My mc452 has a pending sale, and when that goes through, I'll order the ref75. I also need a phono pre now. Because I need a good phono pre and I'm not getting quite what it originally hoped for out of my mc gear, I think a ref150 is not in the cards for now. The ref75 does really well in my room, so I don't feel like I'm cutting corners in any way! It's a rock star.

Marc I wish we lived closer as I would sure like to hear that system once it all comes together.

I think we all would. I can see us all camped out in the living room now.

i thought i read somewhere that Ref 75 was voiced with Sashas so there should be no problem driving them. If the ref 75 couldn't deliver the power wouldn't ARC have used a less demanding speaker?

And it would not surprise me if such a thing happened. There is an undeniable synergy between the Ref5, Ref75 and Sasha's. It's VERY good. Like up there with the best I've ever heard. Definitely when considering the price. |

A friend of mine is pushing me to get the Ref150 instead of the Ref75. Anyone have experience with the fans? Can you ever hear them from 10 feet away?
I don't know how I'd pull off the Ref150, but I guess if I'm going to keep going in debt, I better keep doing it right |

Also, does anyone have direct experience with both of these amps...and would you push yourself to get the 150 over the 75 even with tight funds? Is it worth it?
