The CS2.3 are the new release. Supposed to be better than the CS2's by a wide margin.I've not heard them yet.
I'll likely upgrade from my CS2's but I'm in no real hurry as I am still content with them(course things change depending on disposable income). The CS2s in my room and listening tastes are still truly a marvel. I did a sideways move about dollar for dollar and these things are the real ticket for me.Still can't get over the tonality and presentation,still amazes. I expected to spend much more. Sorry I don't have an opinion on matching your pre-amp etc.I use an Audio Aero Prestige cdp direct into the crossover and then to wyred4sound amps.
I listened to my good friend's CS2s last week after the Rick Cullen mod on the Behringer. I must say his system sounds AMAZING!!! He uses a computer as the head unit. Definitely the most realistic system I've had the pleasure of listening to.

I warn you..room is essential for allowing these speakers to bloom. He has his 7 feet from the back wall and 8 feet apart, towed in at roughly 45 degress off center..

He's using my former SET 14 wpc to power the tweeters and a Classe 300 for the drivers. These speakers will play at deafening levels.
I have a friend who purchased a pair and I just cannot hear what all the fuss is about. The same friend also owns the Harbeth SHL5 and Coincident Partial Eclipse, so we can compare the speakers in the same room. IMO, the EP's are good speakers. They sound like other speakers in their price range, but when I compare the EPs to the Harbeths or Coincidents, I just can't hear any obvious superiority. Each of the speakers have their strong points.
Check their website. They are doing in-home demos by some of their customers in certain cities, I guess on a kickback deal of some sort. Very nice way to do business.
I keep hearing great things about them as well, just not sure if it's a totally finalized product yet, seems like there are a lot of upgrades going on.
