Will be interesting to see how much if at all the new edition is as an upgrade from the old. Buying without a demo Is always a risk, in saying that it’s what I’ve mostly done whilst free falling down this rabbit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an awful lot of moolah riding on a hunch/wish of better things, but I know what you mean. In this day and age getting out and spending time doing an audition is perilous at best, plus, when you get to this level of quality it's impossible to meaningfully do an audition unless they bring it to you and leave you alone with it for at least a month. And that's not going to happen, is it? There's just not enough dealers out there any more to allow for that to happen. I suppose the upside is that, in many cases, the dealer is also the importer, so the chance of getting a deal where the buyer gets a decent discount while the business still gets a margin that ensures their longevity is pretty good. Either that, or like at least one big name, they offer value added services like specialist installation around which the customer and the business can both feel that the deal is a good one.

Funny you should say that because I know so many people who will never go back to him again and when I say so many I don’t mean like 5 or 6, think many more.

They are used as a high end sound bar in the family room. Currently being driven by just a Auralec Vega via toslink from the tv, the Esoteric will be a MASSIVE upgrade for this system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there would have been an SNAer who would have been happy to catch up for an ale or three. Enjoy getting back home to see the family and the new toy!
