ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?


This is what a big dealer told me the other day. Dealer speak or right on the money? Would very much like to hear opinions of the many knowledgeable ARC users on Audiogon. Thanks

+1, @docknow. 

I purchased LS28 after auditioning both at my dealer. And I didn’t think the subtle improvements I heard with Ref6 were worth twice the price. Having said that, if Ref6 was at $10K price point, I would have grabbed Ref6 in a heartbeat. 

I am very happy with my current setup of DAC9 > LS28 > VT80.
