I currently have a Ref 3 I would like to move up from.. I'm looking for opinions and I know there are plenty of them here. I like ARC equipment and will stay with them.
I am looking at used a Ref 5E or Ref 40 Anniversary. The Ref 40 is about $3,000-4000 more.
My system currently is PlayBack Designs MPS-5 w/ USB-X, REF 3, ARC 610T's, Martin Logan CLS IIz's and 4 Martin Logan Depth i subs. All analog cables and power cords are Shunyata. It is all in a dedicated room that is acoustically treated.
I'm sure I would be happy with either one but I'm willing to spend the extra money for the Ref 40 if there is enough difference based on the feedback. I have searched numerous sites and the general internet but have not found much of any comparison.
Any help would be appreciated.
