Audiophile-1
"The A-1 is about elevating reproduced music to the level of the live
experience, . . . That they succeed to this extent is a miracle that every audiophile should
experience at least once in his or her lifetime, . . . they’ve got me excited about music like
never before. The A-1 was capable of sketching the outlines of a piano or chorus with lifelike
dimensions that had me hooked like never before, . . . I was captivated by the sensation of having
my favorite singers standing before me as if in the flesh. The realism of the height perspective
made me want to run right up to these phantoms and hug them out of sheer joy."
Dick Olsher

"The awesome performance of the A-1 has become a legend, and will forever
change the way you hear reproduced sound. The A-1 stands at the forefront of loudspeaker design.
There has never been a single membrane loudspeaker that reproduces the audio spectrum as faithfully
as the A-1."
Perfectionists and reviewers have acclaimed the naturalness and ease with which it
represents music in all of its forms. There is an addiction to the A-1 such that, upon auditioning
it, you will never view music reproduction as before. This is the last speaker that you will ever
buy.
