Even though you are not a tube guy, nor a vinyl guy, I wish that you could hear the AN stuff. I think that you would appreciate it. Somehow, someway, they have a way of making the music appear from everywhere... there simply are NO speakers in the room with this gear. Much like your MBL's I think. Thanks for the nice comments. |

Do you get the actual mountains at that price, or just get to look at them.

Is it possible to achieve the same result pairing the integrated amp with a non-AN speaker system? Is there a dealer around So Cal? mP |

akai,
I cannot answer the question as I have used them together. I DID use the AN speakers with another tube int amp (Cayin) and had good results but nowhere in the league of what I am hearing now. It was a PP 6L6 based amp. There is serious synergy between the AN gear, just like there is with Mc gear. I would think that the AN amp would do well with other speakers as long as they are very efficient. No So Cal dealers. I do know of a great dealer, pm me if you would like that info. |
