"Laden with features and producing a sonic tapestry that's big and involving, the Reference Two Mk II is a preamp worthy of its top status in Audio Research's line. I grew to admire its ability to draw me into the music in a way very different from my reference Lamm L2, but its remote control took no growing to like. I doubt there's an A/V system of any size or complexity that the Reference Two Mk II can't accommodate given its input and output options, and the preamp's pedigree certainly makes it a solid, though expensive, purchase." - Marc Mickelson, SoundStage!
