Question about Audio Note E SPe HE

Hello,

I was about to purchase a pair of AN-E SPE HE . I just found out that Audio Note also makes a signature version for the HE model with external crossover. I would like to understand if the signature version is a significant upgrade over the base model? Is it worth pursuing? What are the advantages of external crossover?
I understand only my ears can tell but I can’t find a pair to listen to unfortunately.
Please share your thoughts and impressions. Thank you for your time.

According AN website:

"AN-E/SPe HE: AN-SPe17 or on later models AN-SPe19 silver internal cabling, silver voice coils.

(Description available only for non-HE)
AN-E/SPe Signature: AN-SPe17 or on later models AN-E/SPe19 silver cable connecting to external crossover with Audio Note™ copper foil signal capacitors, silver voice coils."

Hi Jond, 

I actually auditioned the top of the line AN-E Spx Signature. The dealer didn't have the base AN-E SPe HE model. Yes, the Sig. HE costs twice as much as the SPe/HE. AN website also shows a AN-E LX signature model. Wondering what the difference is between LX & SPe.

Thanks Jond. I am leaning towards getting LX HE Signature.
