"Audio Note designs their 300B to work specifically FOR Audio Note speakers."
Do they? What a bunch of nonsense...
I have also found this be true, not just for speakers, but also preamps. I was also told by AN that I shouldn't "upgrade" some of the electrolytic caps and resistors on Conqueror Silver because it would "throw it out of balance". What I heard was far different from the "lovely sound" for which AN is so well known. It sounded more accurate, more robust and dyanmic.
Follow Ups:
IF this is true then it means that the gear is strongly voiced and cannot be considered a neutral communicator of recorded signals, IMO.
I have heard the non-silver Conqueror and the Conqueror Silver...neither was what I would call a very good amplifier. Ok in the mids and a bit soft in the highs but rather woolly in the bass.
Some Kaisei electrolytic caps, better AN PS caps, and a few strategically placed non-magnetic silver caps cleared up the two problems you mentioned. My speakers may have helped, Tonian Labs. But yes, in the AN line, this is a "budget" amp. I guess the price in the US is between $6-7K. not sure.
Perhaps bass clarity is not a priority for you?
