ARC LS-5MKIII or ARC LS-25MKII

I also like LS5, still have LS5II playing at my home. On the contray as John, I did try BAT 31SE but keep LS5. Maybe LS5 is better match to my system, and I like sound to be a little warm. BAT just remind me too much of a ss.

Gee wiz John..give a guy a break. I was only adding my $.02 fwiw to be of help.I didn't know the "ARC audio geru" was watching!! Yikes!....LOL...kidding JA! Hope your well John!

Anyway..I think my "envy" is really only enthusiasium for a perspective buyer of some very nice equipment and knowing the joy that ARC offerings bring to a system. I deeply respect your comments and advice because you have had the opportunity to "in home" many fine components over the years. But, please dont worry about me, I am very happy now that I've made some changes in amps and speakers and my modded LS 15 with the NOS tubes, and run balanced sounds very, very, good. Perhaps the stock unit is not quite as musical and liquid..I would agree. But many stock units can be brought to life with the right massaging. Yes.. the LS5Mk3 is better( now only marginally though if at all in my case) I heard so much improvement over stock that I swore they tore out and replaced everything!...but, at the time, my situation was not right to go out and get the LS5 and change all my gear, and connects to true balanced designs.

Csaba..you can trust the post made here regarding the comments of the LS5...All this hoopla should give you proof how good the LS5Mk3 really is..Listen to Jafox, as he has spent extensive time and man hours comparing various pieces, many of the ARC components he has personally owned. His ears can be trusted

Yes, I also support JA's opinions.

Thanks again for the LS5, John.

Thanks all of you for the valuable comments, now I know which way to go... :>)

Yes- the way to go: LS5 mk3 or LS25 mk1.
