Esoteric Amplifier Opinions

[wawa_chan]

I was thinking of changing up a few things in my system and wanted some advice from the forum (Ivan might be tired of all my questions ).

Right now, I have the K-03 running direct to my Accuphase A-50v. I'm happy with the sound coming to my Sashas. However, I was considering changing the A-50v to an integrated amplifier (specifically the Esoteric I-03) or another power amplifier.

Last year I auditioned (not in my system) the Esoteric A-03 and fell in love with it. As things happen, I ended up finding the Accuphase and purchased it immediately without thinking (not too bad of a thing).

So now I'm considering replacing the A-50v with the A-03. Or if I decide on an integrated the I-03. My reservations with the I-03 is I can't listen to one... it's a class D and its sound will be very different. I also do not need a pre-amplifier.

Any thoughts or experience with the A-03 or the I-03?

Thanks!
