Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line?


I have been extremely satisfied with Audience Interconnect and Speaker cable for some time, natural/organic/neutral presentation that works with every component I’ve used, solid state or tube. I own Au24 SX XLR Interconnects and Speaker cables. I have also been impressed with Audience cables price to performance ratio. I just received an email of another breakthrough reference line, the Au24 SX2, which will actually be called the Front Row line.  Alas, pricing at $5100 per 2 meter Speaker cable is no longer readily affordable. I guess Audience is rapidly catching up in price to its competitors, now that they also enjoy name recognition and stellar reviews. However, they are wonderful cables!  Has anyone heard these cables or know much about them relative to SX line? If they’re as much a revelation over the SX as the email from Audience claims, I might have to start saving. I’ll wait for the reviews I guess.  Thank you to all!

I’ve had mine for a month now.  Fantastic speaker cables which have gone well beyond the performance of my AU 24 Sx cables.  

With th the trade in offer, it didn’t cost that much for a significant upgrade. 
I am not using Audience interconnects.  I have a combination of Audioquest WEL and Wireworld Platinum.  At some point, I may try the Audience ICs. 
@tecknik   In my case (and this is not typical), I found the cables to be too revealing.  Too much of a good thing.  I have been dealing with severe tinnitus and it has gotten worse. While I use to crave getting the last bit of detail and resolution from my gear, I am not having to compromise and consider a warmer presentation.  

For anyone else - the Front Row will be an awesome upgrade!
I am not sure the "more liquid sounding experience" would apply in my case.   That description goes to the Au24SX IMO.
