Hi Paul,
How do you find the Aurousal A1 speakers - I have their bigger brothers - Aurousal VS and love them. In fact I compared them to Quad ESL57s and the VSs gave comparable levels of detail and clarity, but with a scale the electostatics could not match. They really are hidden gems.

They are great and found them a revelation after 2 way speakers... But moved to a new apartment and the living room is smaller and against all expectations they sound lifeless in the new space. They used to sound so full of energy and detail but it seems the space behind and listening position is very important... I imagine that your pair sound great.... They have a second pair of drivers and tweeters?

That's right - the VS versions have two Jordan full-range drivers and an additional tweeter that is in effect an adjustible super-tweeter that can be also be turned off. The transmission line cabinets work very well to augment low frequency responses from what is a fairly narrow cabinet.
