Have borrowed three different sets of E's from PQ over the years, the last ones being the fancy silver-wired, silver voice-coiled high efficiency jobbies. With assorted amps also borrowed including the silver sig version of the Oto phono, a Meishu silver sig and some Conquest (or Conqueror - can't remember) monoblocks.Originally Posted by Marco
Lol... I quite like them, actually. Wide baffles, rule!
They're certainly not pretty, but effective. Every time I've heard AN-Es, I've liked them. Would I pay £10k for them? Er...No!
My Lockies cost me much less than that, and would murder them...

None of them floated my boat and I was glad to get back to the old Tannoys with a bit of push-pull power up them.
Why three sets? Well I really wanted to see what the fuss is about. But in the end I have to conclude I really don't get E's at all, big boomy, floppy cabinet things that aren't a proper floor stander but take up a floorstander amount of space, rear ported as well so a pig to position in a lot of rooms ... the smaller ones (Ks and Js) are better. (I had some Snell Js for a bit and they were good fun - for a couple of hundred quid ....).

I think Rexton was after a speed controller for his 401, this any good?

Trouble is, there may be some vulnerable dimwit out there to think it's 'collectable'.

Relly good unit, about 20 years old but, it's one that was not only designed by, but also made by Nigel Pearson. Well worth the money.

Always wanted to hear one of those but that asking price seems awfully high especially as no original boxes and the units have marks on them.
