    However, the Audio Note AN-E/D Loudspeaker is an infinite battle design, where the cabinet is made from materials that compliment the workings of the chosen drive units, where instead of trying to dampen the resonances in the cabinet, we place them in frequency bands where they aid and enhance the operation of the drive units.

    For best stereo imaging and sound staging the listener should be equidistant from the 2 speakers. The AN-E/D is designed to have a very wide listening window, so they will allow considerable angling to reduce early sidewall reflections interfering with the direct sound from the speakers.

When using two stereo power amplifiers, it is possible to bi-amplify in two ways (see figures 3 and 4). Figure 3 shows each stereo amplifier driving one loudspeaker channel. One channel of each amplifier is driving the LF unit and the other is driving the HF unit of each speaker.

    We expect the AN-E/D to have a running in period of about a month, based on an expected use of 3 hours per day. This period can however vary considerably due to factors such as, music types, listening volume and type of amplification used.
