I heard the Audio Note AN-Es, they were pushed back into the cornes in specially prepared room and they wer very interesting. Dynamics were world class, cellos were extremely hairy, piano left hand was tremendous, everything you said. Still, the electronics are not the strings (apologies to Duchamp) . You have to hear through the electronics , and these speakers highlighted the electronics for me. 


I read in some acoustic manual that a loud speaker conventionally placed in a room has many mirror images from the walls and the floor/ceilng.  But if place it IN the corner, then those mirrors got focused together to form a single point of sound source, there fore the sound may have  a higher "density".  I place my "conical horn" and "pseudo bass corner horn" in the corner, compared with a speaker placed normally, the sound is more real.  In fact, I think a horn is just a device one uses to focus the range of sound at the listener, so that some of the sound's first reflection goes back to a more useful direction.
