Audience Clairaudient 1+1

That's interesting. There was so much hype around those speakers for a couple of years after they came out.

I tried to make then work in my office however, I never could because I did not have enough space. I kept the KEF LS50s and sold the 1+1. I think in a bigger room these speaker would have shone for me.

I think most of the problem lies in the bi-polar design.They will be about 52" apart,rear driver about 16" from the back wall,angled toward me & elevated to listening level by IsoAcoustics stands..Maybe a touch of acoustic treatments behind the rear drivers...I’m not sure they are even close to broke in either...

Well I'm not sure what was going on with any demo's that sounded bad..Have them sitting on top of my M30.1's on the end of the McIntosh MHA-100 & the sound is wonderful!The soundstage is WIDE & DEEP,the tone full,detailed & smile inducing...Got such a great deal on these think I'll send them off to the factory for the v3 upgrade..HIGHLY recommended when used within the operating parameters of the TINY speaker..
PS:I imagine a small tube amp running these in a desktop system could be end game..
