The New Audio Research Reference 6

Common. Tell us the price. I'm dying to know.

enjoy

I found out today my dealer who is only 8 miles away have
already sold 3 Ref 6 preamps. I
definitely paid under 10K for a new unit!

Statman,

Are you saying you bought a new ref-6 for 10k? That would be 30 percent off retail. I can't imagine ARC offering a 30 percent discount on a new product. If you are talking about buying a new ref-5se for 10k. That still doesn't make sense to me when many are available at 7000.00 to 7500.00 with low hours and mint condition. If you bought a used one there would be very little downside if you were going to sell it in the next couple of years.

Taters,

No, per the previous post above. I bought a new in box Ref
5SE in black for under 10K.

Not a bad deal at all.With a warranty,its got to be good,imo
