Ref75se

I have been shopping for a ref75se or ref150se for awhile and have noticed either they get sold pretty quickly, or are on the market for awhile.

I have been in snooze you lose situations, but am hesitant to pull the trigger on one because of it being unsold for quite some time.

Just would like to know from the experience here on the forum what you all think.

I haven't been able to bring myself to sell my '75SE.  It's been in storage for a little over a year (since I got my '160S) but it's such a sweet little amp that I've become emotionally attached.

Can't go wrong.

You are a member of a large group of folks that cannot let go. This is a common thing… even though folks admit they like the REF160 better… they can’t part with the REF 70SE

Yes my system is in my shop. It's the wifey thing. She finds my system is annoying. Prefers quiet time. That's OK though. I have more square footage in shop area than my house, so it is actually a win-win.

OP,  I’ve also had my eyes on Ref75SE for years. I buy, use, sell many items. My opinion is the Ref75SE in Black sells almost as soon as it arrives on the selling block. Silver seems to linger and my opinion is that the right price is $5K give or take 5-10% less or equal to 5K. AR holds its value very well. There is a black one in Canada for sale now.
