I have the Ref 3s and so am obviously biased. I think they’re exceptional and spent more than a year considering others at or around their price. I’d buy them again in a heartbeat over all the others auditioned. Indeed, they’re the only component I have the I would say I’ve fully reached my destination.
If you’re buying demos, perhaps you won’t have to worry about break in as other have noted - it takes a while.
I don’t find them to be finicky about placement as they’re fairly adjustable with the port inserts that come with them.
I will also say they are very rewarding when you improve things upstream.
Best,
