Hi SteveMuzzer, didnt know you had Js.
When were those changes first implemented? Is there a year or serial number to discern between different designs?
A pair of Snell E/Is are available locally for less than $300-. I'm tempted to check the out. Do they sit on the floor or do they require stands?
Hi Steve
Had them a couple of years now, I recently had a dabble with some PMC FB1+
but have gone back to the Snells.
I am using a Tact SDA 2175 power amp but I am tempted to go back to a valve power amp.
We will have to meet up sometime and compare, speakers that is
Thanks a lot for the invaluable info. Did I understand correctly that AN changed the design again later? If so, when did it happen?The earliest ANUK speakers were always badged as Audio Note & were made in Brighton. There shouldn't be any confusion as to what was what. Those early AN models would come from 1991/1992.
Would you ship to Germany? J/K. I will go to the local AN distributor to check the prices of the new equipment, although I suspect anything more than AX models is out of my price range.muzz, you can always borrow my Audionote OTO for a night or two if you get curious about how some glowing bottles would work with them.

I just bought a pair of Snell K/IIs, in part because of this thread. I couldn't get my former speakers (Dynaudio Excite X12) far enough away from the wall and thought that Snell/Audio Note might the answer. First impressions are *very* positive. Excellent all around, but the big surprise is the bass. The Dynaudios were not deficient in this area (too much bass, in fact). With the Snells, drums sound like ... well, drums. I'm very pleased (and appreciative of the information I picked up here).
