Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
AN-K is a vey neutral sounding speaker. There is no prominence in any areas. Coherent and organic.
It will also strike you as a very ordinary speaker but the longer you listen to them, the more you appreciate them.
Best driven with tubes, AN-K will give you countless hours of untired listening.

Weaknesses:
Fussy with placement and amplifier.

Similar Products Used:
AN-K sounded close to Harbeths if you are wondering how they sound.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $600.00 from second hand private

Summary:
The Audio Note K is a very pleasant and musical loudspeaker. The two-way design sounds very integrated and coherent. Not for those looking for an analytic sound or heavy bass. It's musical and smooth, in my opinion. The thing is, it sounds good with just about any type of music. It may not be very very analytic, but it shares the feeling of the music with you. Rock and pop, classical, jazz, vocals, they all sound like music. If you are tired of listening to a collection of very interesting and detailed sounds, and just want to play music again, consider this speaker. It is a really good speaker for those audiophiles who are also musicophiles.

Strengths:
Musical. Easy on the amp. Great with female voices and acoustic guitar.

Weaknesses:
Not for those who look for the analytical sound or thundering bass.
