Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please


Hi
I'm just wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to listen to the above combo? How does it sound compared to the other models in the Esoteric range, like the X03se? or the X01D2?
cmk
If you're willing to go into that price range then you shouldn't waste your money on the X-03se; try the X-01 Ltd or the X-01 D2
If to get with x01 d2 i would probably just opt for the accuphase dp78 which is very nice as well.
Whatever. The point was why would you settle for an X-03se when you can afford better units.

No intention of starting a war here but sometimes value becomes a consideration. Player Y might be better than player X but at what cost and how much better is it?

Not all systems and owners, for that matter, are sophisticated enough to appreciate the differences between the X-03SE and X-01D2

So is the person buying the X-03SE "settling" or is he "value conscious"?

## cost / value is a consideration, otherwise, its always better to aim for the "best" or better units.

## am sure there is a noticeable difference betwee these two units but again, the cost might be too high for my wallet to absorb.

## in my case, more like value. but if i could afford it, i'd opt for the p5/d5 or the x01 ltd.
