RGA is correct about the importance of matching the electronics to the AN speakers. Ditto for the source. I was not impressed with the sound of the various AN Es at audio shows when sourced by digital or by a tt with a mm cartridge. The sound was far too mellow and polite for my taste. However, at the 2014 CAS, in the Music First room the AN-E Lexus sounded fantastic. Perfectly clear, detailed with plenty of "jump". Fortunately, the emotion of the music was preserved but with far better micro and macro dynamics. They were driving the AN-E Lexus with a pair of AN Empress 2A3 mono-blocks ($7,200). The source was a tt with a mc cartridge. Whatever their sensitivity rating is, the AN-E Lexus don't need much power to properly load the room. If my Fulton Js ever give out, the AN Es in some form are on my VERY short list.
