I am happy they got the AN speakers to sound better this time around because at CAS 2012 they had all kinds of issues. Corner loading is all well and good but it only works if the walls aren't made of absolute junk.
The Hong Kong AN dealer is the biggest seller for AN gear apparently and they have the speakers away from walls! If you can live with a little less bass take a look at the J/LX which is something like $4,600. You give up an octave and some sensitivity.
The moral of the story is hotels are hit and miss. The AN and the KEF are prime examples. Both sound better away from hotels.
I notice that the Music First, Triangle, AN combo was well regarded at a previous show very highly and they took it further by creating their own wall - cause hotel rooms suck.
