Thanks for your input.

Does Audio Note sell kits, completed systems or both? I always assumed that they sold complete systems but I gather with all the options you've described that they may provide some as user-installed options or maybe Audio Note even sells some of their products as kits.

I'd really like to hear some of the various Audio Note amps. I saw them in your room at MAF, and I heard them too but only briefly. It's too far to travel, and I wouldn't ask for a demo unit just from curiosity, but one of these times, we'll have to find a way to get together and pair some of our systems.

Here are some of the specific systems I'd like to investigate:

• Entry-level 2-10 watt Audio Note system and tower two π Speakers

• Entry level 10-20 watt Audio Note system on Theater Series three π Speakers

• Medium-level 10-20 watt Audio Note system on Theater, Stage and Professional Series four and seven π Speakers

• Top-of-the-line Audio Note system on Audiophile Series seven π Speakers

I think each of those represent well-paired combinations, and it would be interesting to me to hear them. It sounds to me like the price ranges we're talking about start at about $2000.00 for a complete entry level system. That's very reasonable; I'd like to hear what we can do in the $2000 - $5000 range, in the $5000 - $15,000 range, and in the $15,000 + range as well.

Maybe we'll get a change to explore the entry level and medium level combinations at the next show.
