Whether you are considering your first component audio system, an audiophile-level upgrade or something in between, an exceptional pair of loudspeakers will be the key to transporting you to musical nirvana or send you scrambling to turn down the volume control. But, for the majority of listeners the world over, a love of music no longer equates with speakers the size of a small refrigerator as the accepted way to enjoy music at home or in any living or working space. And even though your favorite sources of music have shrunk to pocket size, speakers with the fidelity, emotion and realism needed to move the soul continue to be much more than you want in size and much less than you want in sound. Untl now.
The ClairAudient Loudspeaker Systems truly represent an innovation in musical accuracy and neutrality. This reduction in several forms of distortion also applies to bass performance. Multiple ultra-low distortion drivers are capable of realistic bass sound staging with a seamlessness and coherency that no conventional speaker can produce. The ability to recreate a wide, deep and realistic sound field is another performance advantage of ClairAudient loudspeaker technology. To produce a soundstage that offers some semblance of realistic acoustic space designers typically rely on various "tweaks" to crossover components and speaker/driver modifications. An Audience loudspeaker's ability to recreate acoustic space is uncanny in its realism. The smooth and uniform polar response of ClairAudient speakers coupled with the top to bottom single driver full range output creates the most realistic placement of musicians, instruments and the recording environment. ClairAudient loudspeakers are capable of producing a typical "sweet spot" response for a single listener as well as a Sweet-Space that extends the primary listening area for several people. Versatile positioning of the angle of the speaker into the room contribute to the stunning three dimensional "feel" of the performance. No other speaker systems can produce a more convincing sound stage. ClairAudient Loudspeaker Systems embody the ultimate in technology for the finest in musical realism, emotional involvement and enjoyment.
"The One" has been receiving positive comments from pundits around the world. Almost all have begun by using the ClairAudient speakers as a desktop system and moved it into a full-blown setting. And almost all have come away wondering if full-range is vital, when something this small creates something this fantastic. This is an extremely cogent and potent loudspeaker that will confidently upturn a lot of what many will hold as self-evident about audio. It might be a controversial statement in the highend, but if more treble or bass comes at the expense of that midrange clarity, I’d take The ONE in an eye-blink!

Just like "The One", the "Audience 1+1" creates a three-dimensional soundstage that allows an audiophile to easily listen into the subtle low-level nuances of a mix or live performance. Also, like all Audience speakers, the 1+1 provides a seamless, phase-coherent, crossover-less, sonic presentation that makes it very hard to go back to listening to a conventional multi-driver speaker without hearing the sonic discontinuities caused by the crossover design and its components.
