Which AN E speakers? They are not all the same, in terms of sound and sensitivity.
But I agree with Ralph. I have owned a few AN Es and they always sounded better to me with 30-60 Wpc. The Atma-Sphere OTL amps would be a great way to go. My favorite amps with these speakers were the McIntosh MC225 and MC240.
My second choice would be an EL84-based amp. I used an Audio Note OTO SE Phono for years and it was wonderful. 12 Wpc but lots of grunt and great bass.
Just curious, what is it you don't like about your Quickie Mid Monos?
