Brand New!Audience THE ONE speakers One pair of these delightful speakers.\"The ONE represents our efforts to produce the finest small speaker possible,\" said John McDonald, president of Audience. \"It employs Audience\'s exclusive A3-S full-range crossover-less driver to deliver pure, expansive sound with dynamics and soundstaging capabilities that might not seem possible from such a small speaker - until you hear it.\"The ONE incorporates the same exclusive A3-S full-range crossover-less driver as every Audience ClairAudient loudspeaker, along with a purpose-designed passive radiator. The A3-S is a full-range high power, 12mm excursion, ultra-low distortion transducer. It eliminates the need for a separate woofer, midrange driver, tweeter and crossover network - and their inherent sonic compromises of sonically dissimilar drivers, phase distortions, loss of resolution and transient response degradation.Available in a choice of stunning high-gloss finishes including black, red, white and blue with black grilles that attach magnetically to the speaker, The ONE is a true point source loudspeaker that offers a seamless, absolutely coherent sonic presentation at all frequencies with extraordinarily precise imaging and remarkable soundstage realism. \"Even off axis, The ONE is uncanny in its ability to sound more like live music and less like what we\'re accustomed to hearing from a stereo system,\" McDonald noted.Because it has no crossover, The ONE is direct-coupled to the amplifier it\'s connected to, enabling the full damping factor of the amplifier to be directly applied to the A3-S driver\'s voice coil. By allowing the amplifier, speaker cable and driver to act as a single coherent system, a level of control over the driver is achieved that is not possible with any speaker with a crossover.The ClairAudient The ONE employs the highest-quality parts throughout including low-mass binding posts and Audience Ohno (monocrystal) Auric internal wiring. The ONE presents a benign load to an amplifier, resulting in compatibility with a wide range of tube and solid-state amplifiers. The ONE is flat from 50Hz to 20kHz in-room response when placed on a desk or near a wall; a subwoofer is required for full-frequency response when The ONE is situated away from a wall.“It doesn’t pretend, as most speakers in its size and price range almost always do. It doesn’t lie. It tells the truth and will get you far closer to a sense of the real thing than any of its competing competitors can or will do.”
--Harry Pearson - Apr \'13“It’s not a classical desktop speaker, it’s more a high end product. The performance you get is eye popping. It’s a boutique product but a very special ONE.”
--Hakan Cezayirli, Editor - June \'13\"This impression of clarity, octave to octave consistency and harmonic coherence, and freedom from distortion is apparent from day 1 to day 101 and beyond\"
Jerry Seigel - June \'13 Speakers only, Desk top stands not included--$75 optionSales tax is 7.5% in California
