arc ref5-se

I have been entertaining the idea of trying a ref5-se for awhile. I see a few around the $6500 range, but they sure don't seem to sell very fast.

I have an opportunity to get one for $6000. The unit is very clean with low hours.

I kinda feel this is a fair price. Any thoughts?

I owned one for nearly ten years… I could have easily lived with it forever. I was upgrading my other equipment, so upgraded to the REF6se. Don’t worry about hours… they will last decades. You will have to replace the tubes occasionally… but these are real audiophile components made to last a lifetime. I would jump on it, without hesitation. A screaming deal for the sound and quality.
