mitchb - Do I like the 250.8 better than the 250.5. Yes, absolutely. (own the 250.8, have heard the 250.5 in the same system)
Is it 10k CAD plus your 250.5 better? - Likely not. What else would you do with the 10k?
Do you have your "end game speakers"?
What pre-amp?
DAC?
... all about allocation of funds.
Now, do you have a burning itch to have the 250.8 and the 10k isn’t a huge stretch - sure, it’s better (to my ears).
