wolster Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Item: Simple Audio Listen Active SpeakersLocation: PerthPrice: $250 $225 firm plus shipping (local pickup preferred)Item Condition: ExcellentReason for selling: NLRPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: I bought these through Massdrop in 2015 for use in my office. I had previously read how two senior technicians from Linn had left the famous Scottish audio company to form Simple Audio with the aim to make quality audio products that were more affordable, yet offered the latest in technology. As you will see from the link, Simple Audio were ambitious in there range of products but lacked the marketing and distribution power of the big boys. My understanding is that the products are no longer available but speakers such as these remain as a testament to their skill. As you will see from the reviews of these speakers, they originally retailed for 400 pounds ($680) but were later discounted as the company tried to clear them through avenues such as Massdrop and Amazon. Support still seems to be available on the website. I was mightily impressed when I set these up in my office but they have had little use and are overkill for Skype meetings and webinars. Tidal does not get a look-in at work these days. The speakers come with a remote (not shown in pics) and I cannot vouch for the bluetooth connection as I never tried it. No reason why it should not work. The touch control on the top of the main speaker works a treat. These really do sound very good, as they should do when you look at the features listed below. They have a wide range of uses in the home or office. Grab yourself some quality active speakers at a bargain price.
