A beautiful pair of the highly rated ClairAudient 2+2 speakers in Teak. Sure to go fast!

The ClairAudient Line Source Array has no crossover which, according to Audience, eliminates many issues including phase anomalies. They claim this reduces distortion, produces a more accurate waveform, and proper transient response. The ClairAudient uses multiple, full range drivers that produce a flat frequency response from 50Hz to 22Khz, with the lowest frequencies reproduced by a separate subwoofer. It also features what Audience calls SweetSpace(tm) Imaging Technology that provides an expanded optimal listening area over conventional loudspeakers.

According to Audience, “the A3S driver is a breakthrough full range loudspeaker driver design comprising the patented XBL motor, patent-pending suspension and patent pending basket. The A3S is built like a high power subwoofer driver using a large neodymium motor structure, big voice coil and suspension venting. The A3 is ultra responsive at 2.5 grams total moving mass providing state of the art resolution and dynamic range. The A3S sports 12mm of usable excursion with less than 1 dB compression at levels up to 95 dB SPL. “

Reviews:

"$5000 is a lot of money for a pair of small, not-quite-full-range speakers. But it's not a lot to spend for a loudspeaker that makes listening to music as enjoyable as does the ClairAudient 2+2. Plus, it's small enough for even the tiniest spaces, and an easy load for even modest amplifiers. Don't seriously audition it unless you're equally serious about buying new speakers. Once you've gotten used to not hearing the distortions created by crossovers and multiple, different drivers, it's awfully hard to go back. Very highly recommended. " - Stereophile

"I believe after spending well over 500 hours listening to the Audience ClairAudient 2 + 2 monitors that its a breakthrough product. Using them with at least three amplifiers, tube and solid state, various cables, and in two different rooms confirmed that that the 2 + 2's provide a natural, coherent, and seamless sound. There is nothing artificial or ginned up about their presentation. They remind me very much of my days listening to my father's Quad ESL's when I was a teenager. Except the 2 + 2 can handle lots of power and have plenty of bass. While some listeners may, incorrectly, in my opinion, get an initial impression of too much warmth, I believe this is due to being conditioned to the unnatural sizzle of many tweeters and due to the distortion introduced by many crossover designs.

I found my time with the 2 + 2's immensely rewarding musically. I never found my self growing fatigued, bored, or unengaged. I really believe those shopping for a top class monitor should really find a way to hear these. Besides their sonic beauty, they are also beautiful too look at, and will integrate into any decor. The 2 + 2's are extremely well made and are hand crafted at Audience's factory in Southern California. The 2 + 2 is the result of a long period of development and pursuit of a vision. If that vision includes an untarnished, coherent, and dynamic window into the music, I say well done. Highly recommended. " - A/V Review

"The ClairAudient 2+2 is by far the most enjoyable, musically compelling mini-monitor I’ve auditioned to date. It crushes other mini-monitors at their own game, yet can play louder with lower distortion and power compression. There is little to complain about and much to rave about. In the mini-monitor genre it sits well above a crowded field. A sonic gem that demands a serious audition. Highly recommended!"
