A good policy, to be sure. And yet how difficult it can be now to schedule an in-home audition! And even hearing something in one's own system short-term (say, over a long weekend) may not reveal the potential for long-term dissatisfaction. But it's better than nothing.
I share your hesitancy about Esoteric. The only reason I would consider the X-05 is, as you've suggested, that it plays against type. Recently I talked to an audio enthusiast and music collector who bought an X-05. He's something of a vinyl snob, but he said that the X-05 was as close to his vinyl rig as he's ever heard. Quite the endorsement! Too bad you don't have a local dealer.
