Is that opinion shared by others here? Feel I get, but the tone surprises. Both the AR805 and AR605 are on my future GAS radar, and the videos I've heard online sound quite distinct. Both warm and lively but the maple 805 sounds a lot more archtop-y to me (with the sizeable caveat that the only archtop I've played, for about 5 minutes, was a junky old Kay Truetone).

My subjective evaluation was to answer the question "Do I want to purchase this AR610 as a compliment to my AR805?" I did find the AR610 a bit warmer, with a bit less "bite" in the attack and rounder tone. I did not find it different enough to pull the trigger. Again, this was a totally subjective judgement, YMMV.

You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
