AN-E-SPE-HE Advice


I have  moved and my audio room is smaller , 11.5 ft wide x 18 long ft x 7.3” ceiling.

I have Coincident Total Victory IV Loudspeakers but the width of the room is affecting the sound.

I have made corning acoustic tiles which help but the sound is not as good as it should be.

I am in the process of ordering AudioNote AN-E-SPE HE .

I have 4 usable corners and I feel the AN Loudspeakers will be a better match for my room.

The rear of the speakers will be parallel to the short wall.

I have Herron Preamp and Phono and was wondering if they mate well with AN Loudspeakers .

I also have (3) 300B amps , Frankenstein II ( 8 watts ), Wavelength Triton Blue ( 15 watts )and Canary 330 MK II ( 26 watts ) .

I know AN Loudspeakers sound best with AN Gear but if possible I would like to use my current gear if possible but if I need to sell it I will.

I am hoping to have a system that lets me enjoy the music and I have read many good things about AN Speakers.

Any suggestions about the AN Loudspeakers and associated gear will be helpful.

Thanks,

Jond,

Thanks for reply.

Who is Vu ?

I heard this today from a company that sells AN Gear and he said the same thing .

He has some people order the hemp drivers to upgrade their speakers and they ended returning because of the lack off bass and a bit dry.

I'm delaying my purchase until I research it.

I have a verbal cost the Alnico upgrade drivers are $5000 + .

I won't get that upgrade.

I would appreciate any links that document the hemp driver issue.
Or any links with AN Speaker info.

Hi abill,
Perhaps my bias but I believe that in terms of musical presentation and engagement it’s hard to beat a high quality well implemented paper driver.

I agree with Jond, you have very high quality electronics and I cannot forsee any reason they wouldn’t mate in fine fashion with the Audio Note speakers. I do feel that your Coincident TV IV speakers require more space to really breath. You’ll be fine.

Abill sorry Vu is the owner and proprietor of Deja Vu Audio in Mclean VA and where i bought my J's and a lot of my other gear.

Hi Charles,

I've been using the TV IV for 5 years , I hate to see them go but I have finally come to the realization that I can only do so much with my room .

I'm trying to avoid any unforeseen issues before getting the AN Speakers and enjoy the music.

I have been told that all the AN high efficiency speakers use the hemp drivers. I'm research it , it could be the older AN speakers need a different crossover to solve this issue.

thanks for the input.
