Very good review of LS27+Ref 75 from UK Hi-Fi+ magazine issue 93.
I invested $6 to read a review of amp that was in my own system 2 days ago. Last edited by Masterlu; 10-29-2012 at 08:52 PM. |

No I haven't, however I have heard Audio Research tube amps & in particular the KWA-150 enough times to offer a comment. If you go back through the OP's comments, I provided this suggestion based on the OP's concern about maintaining tubes, the fact that the KWA-150SE matches the OP's power requirements, sounds tube-like & in my opinion represents good high end value.

I may disappoint some of you, but yes after serious considering. Tomorrow I am going to pick up my Reference 75. The spare $$$ will be use to buy speaker cables to use with it ( don't know what yet) and also to buy amp stand ( HRS S1)
Thanks for all cheering. This is my first tube power amplifier. Toga |

Thanks.
Ref 75 played loud with my Magico Q3 during demo. and needle never passed half way of full scale. that 's why I am confident in this 75watt. It will be used as secondary amp when I have mood for tube. If later on 150SE is out, upgrade is always possible. I listened to all of them in my room before, so I have some base line to make decision. All of them have similar sound. And Ref 75 never let me wanting more in term of power and punch. What bugging me is that, how well Ref 75 will drive my future speakers which can be something like Alexia or Maxx replacement. But I think that is something far in the future, I better save $$$ right now rather than worry for something that is far from happening yet. Due to hard work schedule coming in November, not sure I will have time to even open the box. But I doubt I can just looking at the white box knowing there is my new lovely amp inside.
