Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27?

The new LS 27 is coming to the dealers now. Called the Audio Research and they said the new LS 27 sounds better than the Ref 3 and very close to Ref 5. That is the reason why the listing price of the LS 27 is changed to around $7,000 so that it won’t affect the sales of the Ref 5 too much.

Have you heard the LS 27 and how do you like it?

An almost brand new LS27 is already selling for $5,700 on A'gon. So an used LS27 will be cheaper than an used Ref 3, but the question is whether or not the new LS 27 sounds overall better than its 7 years old designed ref 3?

Ref 3 is introduced in 2004 and discontinued in 2008. It is not unusual for the same company to produce a better product like LS27 7 years later and cost $3000 less.

Why don't we hear somebody who have actually listened to the LS 27 and tell us what are their impression?
