Bob or Dave Cope probably know for sure. My understanding is that the D models have Russian birch on the front and back portion with an MDF wrap on the sides bottom and top. The old original models used chipboard which is what Snell Used.

The original Snells were different - different size port (rear firing tweeters) and the internals were different. AN uses carted sheep's wool over Dacron, better wiring, cabinets, caps.

With the E (and it should apply to the J as they always have) it goes something like this:

AN E/D (SEAS black paper woofer)($4,950ish)(Birch front and back)Review of this is here http://dagogo.com/audio-note-an-ed-speaker-review
AN E/D (Hemp woofer) (Birch front and back)

AN E/Lx (SEAS black paper woofer) (All Birch and up)
AN-E/Lx (Hemp)
AN E/LX (High Efficiency Hemp)
AN E LX Signature (LX96 copper cable connecting to external crossover with Audio Note™ copper foil signal capacitors, silver voice coils.)

The other models all use silver wires:
AN E/Spe (SEAS Black paper woofer)
AN E/Spe (Hemp)
AN E/Spe (High Efficiency Hemp)
AN E/Spe Signature (silver cable connecting to external crossover with Audio Note™ copper foil signal capacitors, silver voice coils.)

AN-E/SEC Signature

The ultimate 2 way speaker, AN-SOGON LX96 silver speaker cable connecting to external crossover with Audio Note™ pure silver foil signal capacitors, soild silver inductors, specially selected and matched AlNiCo drivers with silver voice coils. ($238,000USish)

And then there are the AN E Kits
