Product Review (submitted on February 9, 2022):

Wow! I have had these for just a day and I can honestly say that the Ai41's are absolutely the best sounding speakers that I have ever owned!
The highs are distinctive and have a clarity that is astounding. The piano strikes at the end of Purple Rain by Prince sounded like heavenly bells.
The bass is punchy and digs deep without being overpowering while the mids are detailed and ultra smooth.
And the soundstage and separation?
Let's just say that there is no need for a center channel whatsoever.
One thing though: The volume doesn't seem to go so high when listening through the optical port. This really wasn't an issue for me as the dialogue was guite clear and didn't really need a volume boost anyway.
With the sound and build quality, as well as the beautiful aesthetics, these speakers with the built in amp, fit the bill for me quite nicely, and have cemented my decision that when I upgrade to a new turntable later on this year I am definitely going with the Fluance RT85 in lucky bamboo to compliment these fine beauties!
