Be sure to open your wallets while STeVe gets more handouts. Oh, and STeVE says he is not a pig.

Audio Note UK AN-E/SEC Silver Signature speakers on their way.
STeVE:
I've been informed that a big package is being sent from Viscount House. A pair of new AN-E/SEC Silver Signature speakers (with external crossovers) and another pair of the wonderful Audio Note version of the famous 211 transmitting tube called the 4242e for my Jinro integrated amp.
So, I'm excited about this. I've seen pictures of a few of the SEC sig speakers but have never seen or heard them in person so this is big for me. How are these going to differ from my current AN speakers the AN-E/SPx HE Alnico? It will be interesting to me (and I would assume to all of you Audio Note fans) to compare and contrast.
I don't even know what the heck they are going to look like. I picked Cherry wood, similar to the ones I have now but in looking at pics on line of this model, no two versions of this look alike. I requested the version with external crossover boxes (black) but as for the actual speaker, are they the same dimensions as the other AN-E's? I assume they are. I guess I will find out soon enough but typical of hunting for Audio Note info on the Internet, most Google searches show reviews from 2005 or older OR come back to this forum and the threads I've started, mainly this one:
Audio Note UK AN-E speaker choices, from cheapest to most expensive. A handy and useful chart..
So that is silly.
At any rate, not even sure how much these are retailing for but I'm pretty sure they are friggin' expensive. After all, everything is silver wire and high grade. These aren't even top of the line for AN speakers! But they are up there so it will be interesting.
Please note: I did not demand or even request these, I'm not a pig. Peter at Audio Note UK offered them by suggesting to me that I might like them so he had a pair built for me. A long term loan.
DHL says they were shipped yesterday and will be here on the 29th but we all know how that goes. Customs has their own ideas but it won't be too long so stay tuned!

If any of you have heard these, please feel free to chime in. All the reviews I've read love the speakers, but they are from like 2003. Possibly the specs have changed since then.
Thanks.
Thanks.
