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?

Why would an LS27 be discounted so much at this time when most people haven't even seen one yet? Didn't someone like it?

Why discounted: Review sample, trade show sample, Dealer going under, Fickle rich person, Fickle poor crazy person, won Lotto and buying 40th annv model, Rich and buying 40th annv model, Poor, Crazy and sold child to buy 40th annv model. Died, relations want money, not stupid audio stuff.

So many responses, and not a one of them answered the question:
Has anyone heard the LS27 and have you heard it next to a LS26 to Ref 3 etc.
Use your ears and not your egos to answer this simple question.

I answered the question in on of my posts. Evidently you missed it. Perhaps your question was more important than my answer?
