This is a pair of Audio Note Kit 3 AN/E speakers, the latest edition with silver voice coils on all drivers and hemp woofers, professionally veneered by Salk Sound in curly walnut - the finish is stunning.Though I'm not the original owner these have only been shipped once, as I picked them up. I didn't build this pair but I've built two pairs in the past and this pair is built very well. (Since the cabinets come from Audio Note as well, and the crossovers come fully assembled, you don't build these as much as assemble them - it takes only a couple hours.) These speakers are roughly equivalent to the factory AN/E Lx HE which will currently set one back about $8000, I believe. Audio Note speakers need no introduction. They are supremely musical speakers built for musical enjoyment, but they are still extremely revealing. They play quite well with as little as 2W. In a large room, I ran them with a 2A3 SET amp (3W) and 845 SET amps (25W). The 845's increased power is evident on some material, at loud levels. I am also including a pair of the Sound Anchor stands that are considered the best for these speakers. They are sand-filled and very heavy. Because I do not have boxes for speakers or stands, these are pickup-only, near Milwaukee, WI. Less than an hour from north Chicago burbs, unless one wants to pay for freight packing & shipping. One speaker has a minor ding on the right rear corner - see 3rd photo. That is about the only imperfection - they're in extremely good shape. The kits run about $4K with cabinets, the veneering was about $700 (a steal!), and the stands are about $600.
