I recently had an extended audition in my system with the AA Capitole SE. In my system, the music imaged forward, and had a very lively energy that was great with rock music.
Unfortunately, the sound was a bit hyperdynamic, forward, and a bit tipped upward in the upper midrange. I realize this isn't the conventional sound for AA, but this is how it came out in my Ayre/JM Lab Utopia system. It's ineresting that a few other posters have also noticed this in the SE.
YMMV.
