but here is my experience....Bought their A3CR preamp back in 01. Always had that 'glare' (with Maggie 2.7QR's and 3.6R's) Did a complete room evaluation and installed sound diffusers, bass traps, etc, played with various cables, this all helped but that 'glare' even though softened, was still present...Last month I replaced the A3CR with ARC's new LS-17...The 'glare' is gone. A much quieter backround as well. I'm hearing things that I've never heard before on familiar recordings. The dynamics have drastically improved. I can feel the swing and the power of the music, which never was like this with the old preamp. Now for the very first time, I feel like I'm listening to that fantastic ribbon tweeter and hearing what it is capable of.
