I listened to both the Anat and Carmel at CES over the weekend and without looking at the price, the Anat driven by Tencor amps were the best sounding speakers I ever heard, period. Wilson Alexandria, Sumiko, Sonus Faber were also there and came close to the Anat but I don't think they could over come the sound quality and soundstage of the Anat, IMHO.
