Instead of directing his R&D efforts into new cabinetry and driver technologies, Peter stays his course and channels his energy and resources into exploiting all possibilities of the Snell E-type, 2-way backbone on which the E speakers are based.
Headphones, regardless of price, are inherently superior in this regard for its close proximity to the ear but for loudspeakers to recreate same amount of low level details ten or fifteen feet away in the acoustically complicated listening room is a major undertaking. Silver & SignatureĪmong properties most difficult for a loudspeaker to attain is the ability to reproduce low-level details in greater distance. Hence, it was the same spirit that Peter created the subject of this review, the $39,775 AN-E SEC Signature, a derivative of the AN-E Sogon, the ultimate loudspeaker worthy of the Audio Note name. Peter and his team created the best amplifier they knew how, sparing no effort and finance, but attaining a bigger triumph means Peter will need to apply his brilliance learned from the Ongaku Experience and to create more affordable products, so that even non-millionaire audiophiles like most of us can experience music via his methods. Retrospectively, tremendous satisfaction is also found in listening to a system of the opposite budget scale, especially for those of us willing to forego a cruise vacation, or a new house, in search of a lifetime of ultimate audio experience.Īnd Audio Note UK seems to understand the polarities of our hobby the most, although it must have been difficult for Peter Qvortrop of Audio Note, or any top companies in the world, to create anything beyond the best products, in this case, the Ongaku, Audio Note’ crown jewel. It is gratifying to reap the level of satisfaction derived from music-listening via a lovingly assembled budget system. There is no shortage of Audio Note patrons. Distributor, at least a pair of those has been sold.
According to information on Triode & Company’s website (AN’s U.S. In late 2004, Peter Qvortrup of Audio Note and his gifted engineers introduced the $125,000 AN-E Sogon to the world, setting a new record of attention and efforts put into a 2-way loudspeaker design. In the past four years, I have reviewed Audio Note’s previous base “E” loudspeaker, the $2,750 AN-E/D, as well as a previous version of its former champion, the $19,500 AN-E SEC Silver, the latter of which I continue to regard as my personal preference.
