Review/Best of 2024 Award for 1+1 V5 Loudspeakers by Enjoy the Music


“I’ll be the first to admit that I initially found myself staring at these little marvels as much as I did listening to them. However, they quickly proved themselves to be far more than a curiosity, as they are moreover a lifestyle solution, offering exceptional, highly resolved music through a transducer so small, yet revealing life-like music ten times their size.”

Review of 1+1 V5 Speakers by Dagogo


“I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to listening to multi-way speakers with passive crossovers, even systems as nice as my Fritz Carrera 7 BE. At least not without feeling that I’m missing much of what I know is present in good recordings. I have several friends who feel the same way. Until now, I’ve brushed off their comments that passive crossovers were holding back the performance of my system. They now have my attention, thanks to Audience and my time with the ClairAudient 1+1.”

2021 TAS Editors’ Choice Award for 1+1 V3


Audience 1+1 V3
$2960
Don’t let the 1+1 V3’s nearly identical appearance to the 1+1 V2+ fool you; this newly upgraded version is a huge leap over its already superlative predecessor. The V3 employs a significantly redesigned version of Audience’s full-range  driver, top-level Au24SX internal wiring, re-tuned passive radiators, and custom tellurium solderless binding posts. The result is far more resolution and detail (particularly in the treble), superior transparency, wider dynamic expression, and even greater midrange purity. The 1+1 V3’s midrange clarity, just one of the virtues of a crossover-less single-driver speaker, is on a par with that of many speakers costing ten times the V2+’s price. The state of the art for desktop listening, and a terrific choice as a main speaker in smaller rooms. Robert Harley, 273

2021 TAS Editors Choice Award for The ONE V3


Audience The ONE V3
$1695
The ONE, as you might infer from its name, is a single full-range driver shoehorned into a small box. The driver itself, the potent A3A, is the same transducer that achieved critical acclaim in Audience’s other loudspeakers. Properly set up, The ONE is capable of exceptionally wideband response, surprisingly forceful bass, and finely honed, low-level detail. The ONE is the second-best desktop speaker reviewer Steven Stone has heard (after the Audience 1+1). Steven Stone, 236
