I especially notice the difference between the 3 and 3SE. (The 6SE feeds into a pair of older 250SEs.) They all sound so really incredible together... I expect to have them around for a long time.

Thanks. Yeah, that is always the way. My upgrades have a tendency to be overlapping and confounding. I will say there is a huge difference in the 100 - 200 hour range for most contemporary ARC gear. My Ref160s amp has really noticeably improved over the last few days... and it is in the 300 hour range. I went from 5SE to 6SE. I have had my REF3 for a while.
