I just purchased a Keces P3 so I'll be able to try the 205 with an LPS soon enough.
Hopefully it gives the unit a little more bass/dynamics as that is one area where I think it could be a little better. Its overall presentation (minus the dynamics) reminds me a lot of the Bricasti M3 I owned for a short while, lots of detail, but not analytical or overly forwarding/fatiguing.
Map, yes the 204/205 prices jumped significantly over the summer. In the $2K range I'm really happy with the 205. I just sold a Meitner MA3 which has been my long term reference. I don't think the 205 is better, but it is good enough that I think I can live with it for a while... I'm feeding it with a Bricasti M5.
