Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade.

UPDATE””””””””” I just got off the phone with Audio Research about the REF 6 to 6SE upgrade and I was told that the price of the upgrade went up from last year from $3500 to $5000. I was pretty shocked. Also he said that it will not have to be done by the service dept as they have a guy who strictly does Ref 6 upgrades. as all parts are in stock and it will only take 14 days turn around time.

@tattooedtrackman There’s a dealer 2022 Ref6SE for sale on Audiogon.

They’re looking for $12,900 but will take an offer.
There was a non-SE Ref 6 on another site going for $8000.

@tattooedtrackman Yes. That was kind of my point. 

But I can’t see it making sense to sell mine and get a used 6SE for the same price it would cost me to upgrade mine for the SE.
