Audio Note speaker kit 2, experience?comments?


I am thinking about buying an Audio Note Kit 2 speaker and building my own cabinets.

How much power do they really need? I like to turn it up a bit...

Is there a clear choice in the AN speaker line up? I know the prices change quite a bit but maybe one is clearly the better deal etc...

BTW I now own AN Lexus speaker wire and AN-V IC FWIW

ANY comments or suggestons are appreciated..

thanks,

Phil

I have my AN AZ3 set up in corners, and I think it does make a huge difference with AN speakers. The AZ3 is a two way floorstander, quasi quarter wave front loaded horn. Much more dynamic and a better soundstage than traditional placements, in my room. For the money, a great speaker. I don't know if they sound better than the Trentes, because I've never heard them. I do know the AZ3 sounds better than my Legacy's for 2 channel with tubes, by a wide margin.

I have thought about building some KIT 3's, becuse they are about 4 db more efficient. For $1850, I don't think you could go wrong. If you have the woodworking skills, the look could rival AN's $20k+ speakers.
