At USD700 for a white LD Systems ICOA 15 A powered coaxial speaker (mislisted as a subwoofer—it's a full-range top with solid low-end extension down to 48Hz), the price feels ambitious bordering on steep. Typical used market value for these reliable workhorses hovers around USD500–650 in good shape, based on recent sales of similar black or BT models; the white finish might add a small premium, but not USD50–200 unless pristine and low hours.
Before biting, verify the DynX DSP presets and 3-band EQ function smoothly—no glitchy firmware is a common gremlin on these Class D amps after heavy gigging. Probe for woofer surround tears or voice coil rub, especially if over 3–4 years old, and confirm both combo inputs, mix out, and power cord are included; Bluetooth models fetch more, so clarify if this has it.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audience emerged from a passion for musical fidelity ignited in 1972 in southern California, when businessman and music lover John McDonald met visionary designer Richard Smith. Their collaboration birthed Sidereal Akustik Audio Systems in 1979, evolving into Audience in November 1997 with engineer Roger Sheker. Hand-built in San Marcos, California, the brand embodies decades of American ingenuity dedicated to transcending conventional audio reproduction.
Audience specializes in innovative loudspeakers, particularly its groundbreaking ClairAudient series featuring proprietary full-range drivers like the A3, which eliminate crossovers for unprecedented coherence and realism—spanning models from compact designs to the forthcoming Bellare flagship debuting in 2026. Beyond speakers, it excels in ultra-low-mass cables, power conditioners such as the Adept Response line, custom high-resolution capacitors, electronics, and accessories like the Auric Illuminator, all crafted to minimize distortion and reveal recordings' true essence.
Positioned as a high-end boutique leader, Audience commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its trendsetting purity, business integrity, and refusal to chase trends. Products deliver reference-level performance—seamless dynamics, tonal accuracy, and spatial depth—that justify premium pricing, attracting buyers who prioritize transformative listening over mass-market compromises.
