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,

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.

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.

And Abill I don't think its an issue with the hemp drivers it's just a matter of personal preference. I went with the paper drivers on Vu's advice because I trust him completely, he's got amazing ears and has never once steered me wrong.
