”Not only does this system look smart, it sounds good 

too. Even though the speakers only have 4” drivers, the 

rear monitors are tight and rich and the front soundstage 

has weight as a result of the quarter-pipe enclosure used 

on the L/Rs. The Image 12s are popular stereo bookshelf 

speakers in their own right, and I would suggest that if 

you don’t have the room for fl oor standing fronts, then a 

quartet of the Image 12s partnered with the center and 

sub would make a pleasing alternative. The sub is musical 

and able, with delicious control and detail, if not particu-

larly powerful. Those looking for a greater extension might 

prefer to spend the extra money for the Sub B1.36.”

Conclusion

”I liked this Audio Pro Image combo. Each speaker is 

competent enough, but as a system they achieve an 

almost magical synergy. Gorgeous to look at, potent to 

listen to - this could be the set of speakers that will satisfy 

your high performance urge and get thumbs up from your 

partner. As a value high-end proposition, they are going to 

be hard to beat. Well worth auditioning.”

Image 44 tested together with Image 22, Image 12,

“The sweetness of their combined output is a major slice of the perceived 

output quality of the whole set, as the fi ve surround enclosures use the same 

tweeter. It is mounted in a separate alloy enclosure effectively ’fl oating’ on 

the front of the box, thus isolated from the low frequency drivers and 

theoretically resulting in a more coherent, cleaner sound. Vocal reproduction, 

as a consequence, is particularly lovely.”
