That sounds like a positive move to me overall BUT have you had a chance to listen to this AN system you're considering?
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,

I also very much like Charney and Volti Audio speakers if the OP wants to get into horns. The good news @pfmaudio is that you've obviously been able to listen to a lot of this gear. As others above have told you trust your ears if you think something sounds great then it does. And none of the gear you're looking at is of the artificial showy nature than can impress in a quick demo. This is 1=all equipment to give you long term satisfaction. It's a fun process I'm a bit jealous have fun with it! |
