What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Expansive and natural sound due to its open baffle (dipole) design
- Excellent resolution exposes the uniqueness of every recording
- Midrange is a highlight, resolving detail while remaining smooth and musical
- High transparency and excellent integration of the two drivers
- Fast woofer packs quite a visceral punch
Product Considerations
- Requires significant break-in time (approximately 200 hours)
- Requires breathing space and careful positioning for optimal tonal balance
- Needs to be at least 3 feet away from the front wall, slightly delaying the back wave bouncing off the front wall
- Loses a bit of dynamic contrast at very low listening levels
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs Vandersteen VR-35s—Duet 15 Prelude has more enveloping bass than the tightly controlled bass impact
Takeaway: The PureAudioProject Duet 15 Prelude is a first-rate loudspeaker that offers an expansive sound with excellent detail and is terrific fun when played loud. It will fill the heart with joy while deepening one's understanding of the importance of music.
