Audio Note Spkrs

I've owned a pair of Audio Note AN/J speakers for more than ten years and I really haven't had the desire to trade them for something else. I bought them because all of my other components at the time were Audio Note and there is a great synergy between Audio Note components. They are not "uncolored" but they are very musical and involving. The only speakers I have compared them to was a pair of Impulse Lali speakers which were great in many aspects but unsuitable for my room at the time.

Perhaps if you let us know which other components you are considering using Audio Note speakers with and your music reproduction goals you could receive some knowledgeable and informed advice and opinions.

I chose AN because Peter has voiced all his products to work together. No more mixing and matching.
Compared to almost all the rooms at RMAF my AN system sounded like real live music. AN just sounds right.
You can not just talk about AN speakers without talking about the AN amps, cables etc... It is a commitment to go all they way with Peter's simple thinking on audio gear.

Speakers for sale, 350 lbs. Not for me. I will never go back to the rat race of mixing and matching components.

I must confess that I do have a EAR 324 phono that is a killer component. Until I can get a M10 it will do.
Learn the thinking behind AN speakers and you will be rewarded greatly.

I chose AN/E HE as replacements for Proac D15's which were driven by an AN amp. The Proac's sounded great but after several discussions with Peter, the plunge was made and the speakers were added. I have never been happier. Keep in mind that the amp is a low powered SET and paired with the E's makes a fantastic combination. There is no reason to believe that any of the Snell based AN speakers will not sound great with any other tube based equipment. The E's were purchased via the internet and were never auditioned. This was a leap of faith yet for the first time in over 35 years I feel very content with what I have and am not longing for "that something else."
