This speaker is efficient enough that it would work very well with the SET amps and pre-amp made by Wyetech Labs. It would be incredible to hear these speaker with that equipment.

Very very well explained. Many thanks. Please share your impressions later on down the line.

I now did that a couple of days ago as a comment to the first video. (part 1 of 4) There I go into more juicy detail.

Hi! :) I am looking at the Audio Note speaker kits to build a second system. Thinking about the 03 kit and maybe combine it with an OTO phono SE, and a dac 3.1x (not sure about source yet, but i prefer to stream, and then using your streamer recipe).. Using sommercable and oyaide 037 plugs on everything from powercables to speaker cables (or alternatively AN isis). I can build this system by buying components used (speakers new) for under 10.000 euros. what are your thoughts on this build? ;-)

[@RealHIFIHelp]

Good idea. I would though suggest going away from audio note kits or ANK as it is called, because that is much lower grade stuff than the AN-E line of speakers from audio note. AN-E has much better clarity/timing/integration and is much more evolved, especially because of the cable/plugs/soldering tin and different components. Yes ANK speakers generally beat most speakers up to around 20k USD, but doing that is not difficult. There is a HUGE difference between official AN-E and these kits. Same with ANK 300b kits and the company ANK and AN. I suggest maybe starting with a AN-E LX model that is used. I am guessing it is around 5000 USD new and can be had for around 2-3000 USD used. Or you go up to the bigger brother model which is at least 2-3x better which is AN-E spe/he where you get to taste the very best possible sound in the world, delivering an almost endless amount of potential, entering the sound that typically costs 200k - 10mil dollars per speaker set, plus quite a bit more sometimes, depending on what you compare it to. This is about 10k USD new (circa) And about 3-7k USD used. I strongly recommend this if it is possible, this is almost reaching the end of what is possible in top Audio. This is the type of speaker that you never ever sell, it's that good.

Hello, what the difference in sound, when you add isol-8? I have good audio note system, but never tried any of power plants. Do you connect into it digital and analog equipment together?

[@RealHIFIHelp]

When you add the ISOL8 mini sub axis, it makes the sound a lot more black/separated in a very natural way. On a normal powerbar, it gives a more raw/heavy/dark/harsh priority with more focus on the makro detail. Yes the bigger models are better, and have more potential, but the specific model is the best value in my opinion because of the power chord not being locked to these specialty plugs which to some degree inhibits the sound a bit because of a limited selection of cables/thickness of wire and plugs. I strongly recommend Audio Note ISIS power cable with it and Oyaide 037 or wattgate silver 350 plugs, that is a perfect match of sound. Yes it has 2 filters, one for heavier to drive things like mono blocks, and the other for stuff like digital. And yes especially if you have a streamer/PC then using a whole other Isol8 box just for that makes the sound even better. (more free and natural) My sound is best with my DAC and integrated in the best 2 power plugs, it makes the sound more stable. But yes I have the possibility of moving stuff around so everything sounds very slightly different.

Hi I have just entered the world of Audio Note and I agree with most of what you`re saying ! In my opinion one word sums it up perfectly MUSICAL SOUND ! You mentioned in part one of these videos that you`ve chosen the lower stands for your speakers ! What is the total height of these stands ?

[@RealHIFIHelp]

The height of one stand is about 2 motorola one phones stacked on top of each other. Yes you are right.

How much are the speakers I thought they were selling for 3000£ what is the ohms of the speakers they don't make their own drivers who would make the drivers? Had any doings with leak sandwich speakers like the 2075 or the 3090 there's some good speakers pick them up quite reasonably priced, 15 ohms how would the audio notes integrated amplifier cope.

[@RealHIFIHelp]

I have no idea about the price since I do not sell anything audio note. My guess is that the AN-e lx is around 3-5k USD new. (pure guess) And in my country the an-e spe/he which is about the mid range of the circa 18 model range, is circa 13k USD, but in the US more likely 10k USD. (those circa 18 models in the an-e series span from around 3k-500k USD is me guessing) The AN-e kits from ANK are not nearly as good, even though they offer good value compared to the standard of the market. I have no idea about the units and ohm. But yeah, if you get a AN speaker best to use a AN amp with it. Not worth saving money on that in the long run. As soon as you get something like an AN OTO and AN-E speaker that is a setup for life

Just save yourself ALOT of cash, and get a set of Snell type E models that they cloned these from. It's that simple, don't be a dummy and overpay for clones.

[@henriksrensen3220]

You owe it to yourself to listen to the Audiovector R3.

[@RealHIFIHelp]

I heard it, it's good, plus my friends heard it at shows and also say so. But that also has a lot to do with Gryphon amplification being used.

You need to be careful with the best speaker in the world talk!
