    Default Famous last words!!

    Having owned many Audio Note systems over 30+ years, I’ve finally decided to call it a day on buying and selling kit - not too sure my wife’s buying this story though! Things would probably only change if I stumbled on that illusive ‘Pot of Gold’.
    Having moved house recently, here are some pics of the system in our new listening room. The ANJ’s with Blue Hemp drivers look stunning in their ‘high gloss’ Olive finish. They sound amazing as well on the end of AN Level 2 components.
    Marco has kindly offered to post some pics for me. As ever, many thanks Marco, much appreciated!

    I've never heard of Olivewood being used before! (I have an olivewood chair I bought in the Alpujarras though.)
    Looks good.
    Was just reading about Hemp; supposedly better than paper for speaker cones.

    AN have used Olive wood for a while. Blue Hemp gives a slightly warmer presentation I think - looks nice as well!
