Shindo Amplifiers and Audio Note Loudspeakers?


I read recently that Art Dudley is using a Shindo Haut-Brion amplifier with Audio Note AN-E SPe HSE loudspeakers.

I am interested in reading any listening or ownership experiences with Shindo amplifiers and Audio Note loudspeakers.

Also, I am interested in other optimal non-Audio Note amplifier matches with Audio Note loudspeakers.

what about the Montrachet? uses EL84s which are common.

Sure, the Montrachet is an option, as are the other Shindo EL84 and 300B amps, but thus far no Audio Note speaker owners have reported using them.
Shocking news! In the latest Stereophile he swaps his ANs for some Wilsons and he actually likes them! Lordy, what has this world come to?
Tvad,

Did you get the AN-E speakers yet? If so, let us know what you think of them and what amps/preamps you've tried with them thus far...

Thanks!
Hce4, I took deliver about a week ago. I have tried Pass Labs XA-60.5 and George Wright Signature AU-15, and I've stayed with the AU-15 on these speakers, which are designed for tubes.

The speakers sound very nice, but it's too early to go into detail. I've yet to finalize placement, stands, cabling, and perhaps even amplification.
