The Audio Note UK AN-E LX HE is a high-fidelity loudspeaker designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound clarity and dynamic range. It features a 1-inch dome tweeter paired with an 8-inch high-efficiency hemp cone bass driver equipped with silver voice coils, delivering a sensitivity of approximately 97.5 dB. The internal wiring uses 1.5-meter bi-wired AN-LEXUS-LX copper cable from the cabinet to the crossover, ensuring signal purity. The crossover is a simple first-order design with air-cored chokes and hand-selected bipolar and polypropylene capacitors in copper foil, housed in a non-magnetic aluminum chassis. The cabinet is constructed from premium birch ply with real wood veneer and finished in high gloss, designed to be placed near room boundaries to enhance bass performance. The speaker presents a 6-ohm load and operates effectively from 18 Hz to 23 kHz (±6 dB in room). It is capable of working with amplifiers from 8 watts RMS up to 150 watts (unclipped) RMS per channel peak. Weighing approximately 29 kg per speaker, the dimensions are 790 mm high, 360 mm wide, and 270 mm deep. The design emphasizes natural tonality, wide dispersion, and minimal cabinet coloration, making it suitable for revealing amplifier characteristics and delivering an immersive listening experience.
