I have a couple of questions for the AN intellegencia. What is the comporable less effecient speaker in the AN line to the E SPe HE's? What amp and pre would be a good ballanced match for the SPe HE? I currently have a 30 watt ARS Sonum integrated amp that I am quite fond of. I am pondering two scenarios. One is to get the less effecient AN speaker and live happily ever after. The other is to go with the E SPe HE's and get by with the current system until I drink the AN Koolaide and go all AN with SE low watt down the road. Any insights would be appreciated.

I have at home since few weeks a pair of AN E SPe HE (with the new hemp woofer) and it's a wonderful speaker. Fast, rich, natural and very dynamic. Low level is better than with non HE and you can play louder than before. Most of the time, I really appreciate Audio Note products and between them, I appreciate more these HE speakers. Enjoy. Ugo
