The CS2.3 are the new release. Supposed to be better than the CS2's by a wide margin.I've not heard them yet.
I'll likely upgrade from my CS2's but I'm in no real hurry as I am still content with them(course things change depending on disposable income). The CS2s in my room and listening tastes are still truly a marvel. I did a sideways move about dollar for dollar and these things are the real ticket for me.Still can't get over the tonality and presentation,still amazes. I expected to spend much more. Sorry I don't have an opinion on matching your pre-amp etc.I use an Audio Aero Prestige cdp direct into the crossover and then to wyred4sound amps.
