I am guessing Joe will be ordering one when he sees your review, so there will be a minty Ref 10 up for sale at a great price 4 months from now Just joking Joe
That thing has a serious amount of tubes. I am sure it's wonderful. Congrats Mike!

Wow!!

I'm not alone with the joy you have with the REF10
How you can go wrong with a 30k Pre amp?
Congrats Mike and welcome to ARC
The only bad thing is that you will never look back, ARC 4 ever baby!!!!

Yes, thank you everyone. The REF 250's are in my future plans. This REF 10 is simply amazing.

I can't imagine why this question hasn't been asked: Have you tried the Ref 10 with the McIntosh 2301's? If so, how did that combination sound?

I might try it with those and the CLASSE amp later next week, but the ARC/PASS combo is so darn good. Pure magic. It's like they feed off each other.
