Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27?

The new LS 27 is coming to the dealers now. Called the Audio Research and they said the new LS 27 sounds better than the Ref 3 and very close to Ref 5. That is the reason why the listing price of the LS 27 is changed to around $7,000 so that it won’t affect the sales of the Ref 5 too much.

Have you heard the LS 27 and how do you like it?

Maybe an LS 30 will equal or better the 40th Anniversary!

Every model ARC puts out is always better than the previous model.(That's what my dealer says)

I like Audio Research gear. The hot air being spouted by the folks above, does not detract from a great company that works hard to improve products all the time. If you don't want to buy one, fine. i wish i had the cash to buy a new one.
I am the happy owner of an Audio Research Sp-15 and an Audio Research PH-2. i do not use them as much, because i have a Bryston BP-26. But they are great classic gear. and if i live long enough, I might someday own a used REF 3 or 5.. or even an Audio Research LS 27.
So.. for you guys giving a razzz.. you are idiots...
Thanks for the giving me the chance to insult you. LOL

jafox.. the Ref 5 is not ARCs flagship model . The Reference Anniversary edition ( $25000. ) is . And it sounds great .

I have listened to the LS27. I spent a few hours several weeks ago comparing it to the new McIntosh C48. Found the LS27 to provide a much wider soundstage with excellent image - a bit better than that the McIntosh for my taste. I liked it so much I'm considering buying one.
