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.

Hi Tvad - I have been using Shindo electronics with Audio Note AN/E SPE HE for the past 12 months or so, and am VERY pleased with the results. Amp is the Cortese model (10 wpc) and Vosne-Romanee preamp. My listening room is approx 20 x 25 and the Cortese+AN combo fills the room with as much volume as my ears can stand at ~9-10:00 on the Shindo volume knob. Due to my listening room doubling as our family room/den, the speakers are not corner mounted as recommended - mine are mounted on custom-built, 500 lb Tel/TV shelves that pull out ~22 inches. Less than optimal mounting, but still sounds great. Will do my best to answer any specific questions you might have as well.
