I recently upgraded my speakers to Audio Note AN-K/SPe and I am in love. They are very efficient with fabulous imaging, soundstage, and bass response. They are a match made in heaven with my Synthesis Shine. Thanks to Deja Vu Audio in Virginia for helping me out! I will be upgrading my DAC and cables shortly to maximize the performance of the Audio Notes.
I also moved the stereo against a different wall so I could spread the speakers out a bit more. The room is not ideal for acoustics but it is the best I can do.
