The 5SE is not that far from the 40 or the 6, detail improvements in soundstaging, timbral clarity, and imaging, based upon my audition experiences. The 10 OTOH is a major step up from the others in every parameter. I have not heard the 6SE, but given its pricing of $17K USD a preowned 10 is a very strong alternative.
