These speakers are in excellent condition cosmetically and operationally they are perfect.
These speakers were purchased July 2013.
Note: The finish is Madagascar and the Audio Note AN-E stands pictured are included with the speakers.
These speakers are AN-E Spe Alnico Signature. This speaker configuration is not listed on the Audio Note website. The external crossover parts are that of AN-E/SPe Signature speakers. The tweeter and midrange drivers have ALNICO magnets.
There is one flaw which is clearly shown in the photos. This flaw is actually on the bottom front corner of the speaker, it is invisivile when stand mounted.
The below is taken verbaturm from the Audio Note UK website.
The AN-E must be the most efficient wide band speaker of moderate size on the market, with an effective bandwidth from 18 Hz to 23 kHz at -6 dB, efficiency better than 95 dB/m and a dynamic headroom above 108 dB. The extremely high efficiency is retained well over the bandwidth, and makes the AN-E very suited to the high quality, low-power triode amplifiers that will form the future of music reproduction, once our obsession with power and specifications is generally recognized as folly.
The AN-E is a two-way, ported enclosure, with a carefully designed cabinet which is shaped to enhance and aid driver dispersion on one hand, and bass output on the other. The cabinet is lightly braced and little internal damping is used. The cabinet is designed in such a way that it augments and supports the drivers in their task, not unlike the box of a guitar. The drivers are selected and paired before they are matched to the crossover in the same process as the AN-K and AN-J.
Dimensions: (Height, Width, Depth) 790 x 360 x 270mm (31" x 14" x 10.5").
Questions for the seller |
|---|
| do the cables from the external x overs to the speakers come with them? original boxes for both speakers and stands? Yes, the cables from the speakers to external crossovers are included. The cables are actually hard wired onto the speaker drivers.
Original boxes and stands are also included. |
| I have a pair of Snell Type A IIIs that are too big for my new house. I am interested in Audio Note speakers b/c they are based on Snell designs. Why are you parting with them? What particularly differentiates your pair from lesser expensive models? Many thanks for your attention. I do not have any personal experience with Snell speakers.
I think these speakers work best in rooms that are about 190 - 300 square feet.
Selling because I am moving in a different direction.
The parts configuation of these speakers is detailed in the add. Briefly, it is the ALNICO magnent drivers and the external crossovers that make these speakers much better than the less expensive models.
