Audience Clairaudient 1+1


 Anyone using/used these,especially in a nearfield setup?Picked up a mint pair yesterday at a REALLY good price for use in a desktop setup.Wondering what amp you ran with them & any set up tips you found useful..

I demoed a pair of these and they sounded awful.  Rolled off highs, limited dynamics, cloudy mids — just awful. I was running them off a McCormack DNA-0.5 Rev A amp and brought them to my buddy’s house where we ran them off his Bryston 3BSST2 and he too thought they sounded terrible in his room.  Both of us thought they sounded “broken.”  Dunno, maybe they work better on a desktop, but I still think it’s a heavily flawed design.  Sorry, but hope they work out better for you. 
That's interesting. There was so much hype around those speakers for a couple of years after they came out.
I tried to make then work in my office however, I never could because I did not have enough space. I kept the KEF LS50s and sold the 1+1. I think in a bigger room these speaker would have shone for me.
