Audience unveiled the latest incarnation of its Au24 True Line Source loudspeaker, a one-way system with a flat response from 22 kHz to 70 Hz. The lack of a crossover provides ultimate coherency. The sweet spot spans the width of the room, not just the center seat. The total moving mass of each driver is 1.5 grams delivering unsurpassed high resolution sound. As a dynamic driver, the result is the best of all worlds, high resolution and unrestrained dynamics.

adeptResponse Conditioner Review 11/05
“At $3800, the Audience adeptResponse is not inexpensive, but given its ability to improve the sound of everything connected to it, I feel that it is worth every penny. Audio gear is always about compromise. The Audience adeptResponse is the first and only component I have experienced that represents zero compromise.”

The Perfect Vision Review of Adept Response Conditioners
“I have a fair amount of experience with high-performance AC power conditioners, but the Adept Response took me by surprise. Comparing my system’s sound with the components plugged into the Adept Response and straight into the wall, I heard a wide range of obvious, musically significant improvements.”

2005 Writers’ Choice Award for Adept Response
“The Audience adeptResponse is perfect in every way. With its gorgeous silver cabinet, it gets a ‘10′ for looks. With enough outlets to power even the largest of systems, it gets a ‘10′ for practicality. And lastly, with its ability to improve the sound of every piece of gear that I plugged into it, it gets a ‘10′ for functionality.”

AdeptResponse Review August 2005
“Treble with the Adept Response is superb, coaxing some of the finest highs I’ve heard out of a number of components. But, it’s the clean dynamic action that I’ve obtained with the Adept Response that to my way of thinking sets it apart from other AC line conditioning devices that I’ve used in the past.”

Stereo Times Editors’ Choice Award for AdeptResponse Conditioners
“Greater bass clarity, an increase in overall resolution and detail while improving the organic nature of instrumental texture left no doubt that the Audience Adept Response would remain a permanent fixture in my system.”

Positive Feedback Review of Au24 Cables, 2002, 2005
“Backgrounds are quieter, especially on older analog recordings. Micro dynamic events are rendered with superior detail and in more realistic scale, and thereby take on a greater musical significance, most likely attributable to the enhanced sense of the “darker” background. There is a general sense of ease and organic-ness to the overall presentation; it is akin to the sound of good analog in that respect. Whether that is due to an overall coherence the cable offers, or perhaps a very good impedance match, I can’t say. But, it offers a more nuanced presentation, much closer to live music than I have had with ANY other cable I’ve auditioned; and believe me, I’ve played with more than a few.”

I find that the system as a whole with Au24 interconnects and speaker cable running from one end to the other now sounds more natural than it did with Valhalla. I am significantly less aware of “The System” and its sonic virtues, and more aware of musicians and music”.
Robert Neill – Oct ’02 Read Full Review
“Everything that passes through the Au24s comes out sounding pleasing – not sweet, not pretty, pleasing, and where appropriate, even elegant… I found I was now listening to my reference Valhallas as if they were the newcomers up for review”.

PFO Review of PowerChord, March 2005
“I listen critically to every piece of equipment I place in my system, and the powerChord is the only one that has made me forget about the details and let the music take me along for the ride”.

Conductor Review by GoodSound February 2005
“The cables you choose should leave you with no doubt that better performance can be had only at a far greater cost that would be out of proportion with the cost of the rest of your system. The Conductor cables from Audience fit this description well. I can think of no good reason to spend more on cables for an affordably priced system. While using the Audiences, I never once longed for more. The Conductor is the affordable cable I’ll be recommending to friends and family.”
