RE: Which one should I go for Esoteric SA10 or Marantz 11S2 or 15S2

69.142.92.197

Hi, Jim and Disbeliever:

Actually, I listened to both DV60 of Esoteric and Marantz SA7 before. I am well aware of the more analytically sound of Esoteric and warmer sound from Marantz in general. Given that I want to control my budget below $3500, and no dealer would like put SA10 or 15S2 or 11S2 on display, I would like to hear your opinions how these three players compared to each other, because each those lower line product has something compromised, so the comparative description from you who actually have heard of them can be helpful to me. Sometimes, what you like may be what I like, but sometimes, what you don't like may be what I like.

I think my taste is consistent, got a speaker of Dynaudio Contour 3.4 (after listened about 20 brands in that price range) driven by Luxman 550A. In general, I like the tune/color of Cardas Cable, regardless of speaker cable or interconnect.. I normally like the tweeter made of soft-materail instead of metallic/diamond kinds. Hope this will give you some clue of my preference is,

Thank you very much for spending time replying my question.
