| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? When you prefer a more tube sound, I would use A tube pre amp with a Pass Labs power. Why?Because the Pass labs will give you more control, speed, details and more deversity in the middle freq. When we audition tube amps it is always very easy to ... | |
| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? The thing in audio is; when you focus and test many different tools at different price levels you will find out that over 95% of all products in audio is not that special or worth it's money.When you fully focus on quality there are many products ... | |

| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you It is not about a name, it is all about quality. During the show of the B&W 802 D3 with Classe the stage depth and width was narrow. Not like the best highend what can create a holographic stage. So yes you miss the 3D feeling. When you are aw... | |

| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? When you judge an AR Ref5se on all parts you judge highend for, you will find out how limited this pre amp is.- the stage depth and width is not that big as the best ones.- In resolution you miss a lot of details.- in speed and dynamics it is not ... | |
