My current system (gear which I own) is the Esoteric K-01X, REF10, Vandersteen M7-HPA Mono Amps and Vandersteen Model 7 MkII speakers.

That is why I am paying particular attention to your posts. We have similar gear. I have the K-01X and Ref 5SE combo. Different amps (Theta Prometheus) and Wilson speakers. Before I bought the Esoteric I had the CD 9 to audition at home. I have plans on borrowing the Ref 10 from my dealer and hearing it in my own system.
