RE: Also...

The AN J can suffer bass boom and dead qualities. Audio Note recommends quite a large degree of distance from the corner depending on rooms. Some room can take them so that they are practically touching while other rooms a foot or more from the wall. An inch either way has a pretty significant effect in my room. The thing is it sounds quite nice anywhere which i think might fool some people into thinking they're done with the set-up. It takes quite a bit of time IME to really get them into their "spot."

The Soro seems to be gaining in popularity - my dealer has been waiting since September for them while I saw several OTO's. Some people really like one over the other. I like them both. The OTO is what I could afford and I'm thrilled with it. two years sitting in a box - take it out turn it on - took 1 album for the system to get the treble going and now it's creating great tunes.

I personally think the OTO should be revered as a modern classic. It isn't as resolving and transparent as their upper amps but it is highly engaging and just downright easy to listen to all the time. And that isn't to say it isn't transparent or resolving it is.

I would use the word "classy" sounding. I get the impression the Soro is a bit more Indiana Jones while the Oto is more James Bond - Women want to date them and guys want to be them.

How many more analogies can I come up with? LOL.
