I feel the 2300 is more detailed, effortless and open at lower volumes for stereo music...I don't usually listen really loud so I don't have a good comparison with high volume.

I did feel that I have to crank the amp5 up more when powering the Sasha 2 but I think those speakers are power hungry and need that kick to get the crisp effortless sound that I like.

I love my amp5 though but glad I have the 2300 for stereo music...I dont hear as much difference with movies between 2300 and amp5 personally so if that's your forte go with either.

Take a listen for yourself though!! My ears are different than yours I am sure

Have fun!
