Hi Jake,
Well, I'd say I fall squarely into the category of owner you'd want to hear from.
I currently own the Anat Professional II and have owned the Wilson WP7, Wilson Maxx2, Wilson X-2, and the Magico M6 as well. To be fair, each of the speakers were absolutely wonderful. Each a great speaker in its own right.
Having said that, the Anats simply "editorialize" less than any speaker close to this price range that I have heard. When properly set-up (critical) and when playing a decent recording, the effect they produce verges on spooky. It offers performance which appears to place the actual performer(s) in the listening space.
I'm so enchanted by these speakers that as a classic rock fan, I'm for the first time seriously listening to jazz and classical music. No speaker has ever made me want to do that before now.
Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that my wife clearly hears the quality difference between the Anats and our previous speakers. And she never cared about our sound system that much before now.
My opinion is nothing more than that . . . opinion. Yet, to this listener, the Anat Professional II is one VERY exciting product.
