Yes, things do get gratifyingly better when you move to a full-boat AN system, but I got there by degrees and still find that, for example, an AN front end and electronics works terrifically with some other speakers.

I think the dacs are essential. They can improve any system. Actually, it probably makes most sense to move from the front end down the chain, since I found that the quality of AN speakers didn't really emerge until they were in an all-AN system...and in the corners. And MY corners are 18 feet apart! You toe them in past the listening position about 15 degrees and bingo, or voila, as my eight-year old says.

If you are used to somewhat warm, woody sound - say Reynauds, the AN speakers may initially strike you as a bit, well unReynaudlike, which they are. They are not in that game. But once you adjust to the difference, you'll find that the choice between these two approaches is a tough one. Both work very well. But you'll never mistake one for the other. Like different concert halls.
