Audience Front Row Speaker Cables
 
Has anyone tried these out yet? Very limited release thus far. Mine are scheduled to arrive in another week.

I couldn't pass up the trade up program.

These just came in today. Cables look much different than the previous version.

Looking forward to this evening!

Only thing I know about Audience is that they are one of the only few that offer OFC 10 AWG wire from the breaker to the outlet.

Loving them
 
Right out of the box, a meaningful improvement over their previous top of the line speaker cable.

Time to get in some serious listening time.

GreginNH1, I'm considering upgrading my Audience SX speaker cables to the Front Row. Can you please share your experience with more details. In what areas front row speaker cables are better than SX.
Thank you.

Thank you.

The Front Row are more revealing without being too much so (to the point that highs become too bright for example). They present a sonic pattern that seems to better the SX by a noticeable amount. For me, it was a 20% improvement. With certain gear and personal preferences, they could be bit too revealing though.

The upgrade program made total sense to financially. I’m not sure if they still have it.

Do you have the opportunity to audition them first?

After a full burn-in, the FrontRow became much too revealing. Too much of a good thing I suppose.

Their name is quite appropriate- if you like the sound of being in front row of a concert hall, these cables will be for you. IMO, the AU-24SX were much more balanced in presentation. YMMV.
