I like the AN stuff having just demoed AN a month or so ago. I bought a pair of Charney Companions to pair with my Art Audio Jota/Lamm LL2. Charney I think is better in all categories. I'd have been happy with AN but what I have sounds as good as anything I've ever heard with that sense of immediacy or palpability or whatever it is that makes the SET/low impedance combo so compelling.
CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM
Dear All,
I got hooked by the SET sound and am considering selling my Audio Research based system (REF 5 SE preamp and REF150 power) and Wilson SOPHIA 3 speakers. In exchange I would buy a level 3/4 system. M3 phono balanced input pre, P3 Tonnmeister power and AN E AN-E-SPe HE 98db or AN-E/SPx ALNICO 95 dB speakers.
However, considering the good quality I already have, I fear being a little downgraded. Wonder what is your opinion.
My room allows corner placement, and has 30 m2 with 2,4 m height ceiling.
Best regards,
