I have the esoteric c2 and it's wonderful
No complaints
It's extremely musical fast detailed with amazing highs bass and stupendous soundstage timbrally rich
It's does not seem to impede the music in anyway I have detected
I have often wondered how much better the C1 is....let me know
I cannot comment on amplifiers
Good luck and congrats
I listened them in a shop in Italy one month ago with Rockport cygnus and some days ago with tad r1.
Very good amp with natural sound and very good bass.
Sure among the best.In comparison with CH Precision i prefer CH for more details,air,but sure a very good amp.

Ciao Michael,
i live in north of italy near Milan.
Happy you are half italian,but i think you live better in USA than Italy,for our always stupid government.
The M1 was with his preamp C1 and cd K01.
Cable was Audioquest,cheap cable.
The price in Italy are,including 22% of VAT, C1 42.500 euro and M1 euro 42.500 pair,so total are euro 85.000
While CH are L1 euro 30.000 and A1 euro 30.000 each,so i listen A1 in mono,so are 60.000 euro and total is 90.000 euro
In this situation for me i prefer CH for his sound more open,fast,dynamic and natural,but also Esoteric are very good.
Ciao
