A sudden burst of reviews.
I like the summary. It's more in line with observations of several reviewers we know. Thanks for sharing!

Can we expect further clarification on the sound differences between versions 1, 2 and the recent version 3?

none that i am aware of (the revised version was mostly about some input buffers and power module and firmware tweakings). Also not heard about a third revision

I talked with my dealer, Darin at Jaguar Audio, a few weeks ago about the different versions of the 23R, he said there’s no difference in sound quality. The biggest changes were the newer metal remote control that required reprogramming the 23R and the WBT speaker posts.

That's what I've seen, which makes sense considering that this is a costly product. Early customers would've been rather unhappy if there were any audible changes, I think.

I'm not sure whether that's a thing yet. As per Enleum's FB page, they have a small batch of HPA-RM23 ready, but they took a pause to finish their large amp before this year's Munich show.

With Klipsch Forte IV sounds amazing, so dynamic and holographic.
I have been running the same combo for about two months now, and it is just superb, everything I have wanted out of Klipsch Heritage speakers that I had not quite achieved with previous pairings. I always liked my Fortes before, but did not truly love them until I heard them with the Enleum. I was an entrenched British/BBC monitor speaker fan (run LS3/5a in my reference rig), but now I really get the klipsch/high-efficiency/horn speaker thing and I may even be switching camps.
I have been impressed by the handful of headphones I have tried with it, but in my mind its true skill is with high-efficiency speakers. Grab an AMP-23r and the best Klipsch Heritage model you can afford/fit in your space and you will be treated to sonic bliss. My only regret now is that I did not convince my wife to snag LaScalas or Khorns.

Yes, this is in 100% 'a thing'! Setups such as yours do stuff that can't be replicated elsewhere by other means. Enjoy and the odds are you'll remain in that camp for good

I recently sold my Susvara so I put the Enleum permanently on my Living room, as you said with any Heritage model is wonderful, I recently add the Schiit Freya + to the chain and I think I like it straight, I might replace the tubes.
P.D. I just took this pictures .
I have received one(about 3 weeks ago). Currently using it with a Chord Hugo 2 and pushing the Expanse and Stealth. Not much information now but I can tell you that it sounds very, very good!Anyone else received a 23RM and have thoughts?

Now that's a sight to behold
On a side note, why have you sold Susvara? No love for cans? Or was the Sus replaced with something else?
