Accuphase vs Esoteric


I want to upgrade my stereo system. Now I’m using Simaudio Moon 240i and KEF R7 speakers. I’m considering Esoteric F05 or Accuphase C2120+ A46. Any advice? Which one is better? Yours opinions? Speakers I’ll change next year.

The Accuphase will sound warmer, the Esoteric a little more clinical.  Please listen to both as both brands are Uber expensive.

+1.  I have an Esoteric SACD player and love it, so I thought why not try one of their integrated amps. It was cold and sterile and I couldn’t get it out of my house fast enough.  Back to the dealer it went.
