I hear you about the "organic" nature of the AN sound. It's what caught me first about their dacs, and then the kit1. Just got a pair of Cain & Cain single BEN speakers. Still getting used to having high eff since I came from Martin Logans--quite a change! Actually, there are similarities in speed, but the resolution the AN gear is capable of was totally masked by the logans. The BENs don't do bass below about 50Hz with any authority. I do have them about 6' off the wall, so that doesn't help the low end, but their bass is quite different from non-high eff bass. Supplementing them with an ACI Titan sub. The sub does alot for the heft and tunefulness of the low end.
Anyway, I was considering the kit3 seriously before deciding on the BENs. If I do get a pair I'd like to be in touch again for your cabinet maker's info. Again, they are really special looking!
Not to hijack your thread, but can you describe some of the differences from your other speakers? Haven't spent much time with AN speakers, but I'd like to and your insights are appreciated.
