I owned 2.3s in the past and help deliver a bunch of 2.4s (and 2.3s) when a friend worked at a local audio store many moons ago.  Vocals on the 2.4s are a bit more relaxed and open.  The 2.4s also felt to me a bit more dynamic in the bass region. 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
The only caveat I'd have about the Purify 1ET400A as a separate power amp in the gain spec of 12.8dB.  I'm sure that doesn't hurt the distortion specs but may not be good for many people depending on their associated equipment.

Is OPPO worth the inflated price?
I have a bunch of Oppo players.  Two 103Ds, one in the bedroom and one in the main system.  The main system is just used for video (it's an integrated AV system but I probably watch 10 movies/year and it has a projector and probably stuff like the...
