Audience The ONE nearfield monitors
« on: 3 Apr 2013, 06:51 pm »
Guys,

I got a call from John McDonald who told me that after 2 years of the kind of stuff that I've experienced, they have the ONE in stock and shipping (ie. 48 hours shipping).

It's $995 and Audience can take orders directly if you don't have a dealer nearby.

Here's a killer review:

Roger and/or John can chime in here with more details.  In our hay-days, we demo'd with the big line arrays - astonishing.  I hear these are remarkable speakers.

While your site doesn't seem to link to your sales page for these, you do still have a page listing these as 'in stock' and purchasable, and that page comes up pretty quickly when searching for The Ones. Curious if you actually have any of these for sale, or if you're going to be any time soon... Totally get that your company has been going through some stuff - but if you're not selling these, you should probably pull the page, as Google doesn't seem to know the difference!

Thanks!

Thanks for the note!  I updated the page and stock level.

When I sell it, I must service it.  Until we relaunch I can't keep service levels that are necessary to maintain customer sat.  So I'd rather encourage you to buy direct.

They do sound wonderful. At CAF I heard them playing a jazz trio. The bass sounded so real we thought it was the larger speakers playing because these were back against the wall looked like they were hiding, not playing. The wall boosts the bass.

The current Audience speakers use a new, redesigned full range driver. It is not available for DIY like the old drivers were.

Huh, do you know if they're still selling the old ones for DIY for the time being? I've had some things in mind...
