I like the passion in your review and it reminds me of when I first heard the AN E properly set-up. There is something incredibly "right" sounding about the AN E.

After getting back from CES in vegas and auditioning the best of the best - the AN E stands with anything.

It's an end of the audiophile journey kind of loudspeaker. It's one of the very few that is a first class classical music speaker that can do justice to Nightwish and the Evil 9 or any other metal rock dance album.

I said years ago that it matches what the best panels do but also matches what the best horns do - and also has bass. It gives you their pluses without their minuses - very few speakers do that. So an AN E at under $8k is refreshing.

Still you have to figure a way to get them in corners or near wall at the least - the sound will improve dramatically.
