    Clarisys Audio Auditorium Loudspeaker

    I'm with you on most accounts, but in this case the proof is in the crossover with extra amplification. I guess you need to hear an active system to believe in it. Cheers!

    Clarisys Audio Auditorium Loudspeaker

    Ron, Yes, there is a change in the tonal balance, There is just more of everything! More detail, extension, transparency & dynamics. I even sense a more 3d effect to the music with a larger soundstage, huge! The whole experience of the active pulls you in closer to the performance of the...

    Clarisys Audio Auditorium Loudspeaker

    Hi Ron, Excellent report, spot on, thank you! As good as the Clarisys Auditoriums are in the passive mode, once you hear them with the active crossover you can't go back! They just suck you into the music like nothing I have ever experienced. Thanks to Mike & Florian for the support. Keep up...

    Block Audio any experience ?

    Tony, AS far as I know, MBL has never been shown with Block Amps at the Florida Shows! They always show with MBL Amps. Can you confirm when & where?

    Block Audio any experience ?

    I agree, the Blocks were not as good on the MBL's as the MBL amps ( synergy, I guess ) But, On the Magico6's, Kharmas, & Clarisys They were excellent! They Bettered some other high priced amps that I heard. IMHO, of course. The bass grip & control was some of the best I've heard. They are build...

    Alsyvox vs. Clarisys - What are the Sonic Differences? Anyone Understand Design Differences?

    I am using the 2- Block SE mono blocks on the Bass panels, 4- Goldmund 600 mono blocks on the Mid range drivers & Tweeters. All solid state. As good as the Clarisys are with just a pair of mono block amps ( they were fantastic) the CS ACN400 active crossover improves the over all musicality of...

    Alsyvox vs. Clarisys - What are the Sonic Differences? Anyone Understand Design Differences?

    Hi Ron, Please see post #28. I briefly explained why I chose Clarisys Auditoriums. I could go more in-depth but then the open can of worms starts. Some prefer something different ( Alsyvox ) which is totally fine, my results are totally different. BTW, I just went totally active with the CS...

    Alsyvox vs. Clarisys - What are the Sonic Differences? Anyone Understand Design Differences?

    I totally AGREE with your statement! I really didn't want to go down this road but hell, I might as well! Don't get me wrong as I listen to both of these speaker in good rooms before I made my decision. They were both good but different. My decision to go with Clarisys over Alsyvox was exactly...

    Alsyvox vs. Clarisys - What are the Sonic Differences? Anyone Understand Design Differences?

    I don't care to get into what I feel are the differences in the speakers on the forum. It just opens up to many objective opinions from some who have never actually spent time with them in a proper setting. If you would like to PM me I would be more than happy to discuss. In my opinion both...

    Alsyvox vs. Clarisys - What are the Sonic Differences? Anyone Understand Design Differences?

    I would never buy based on show conditions! I actually have a different perspective than you came up with after having listened to both in proper settings. Different strokes for different folks, which is all good. It would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing. The Clarisys...

    I have heard them both in proper settings. Purchased the Clarisys Auditoriums! This not to degrade Alysvox, just my preference. Not going to tit for tat on the forum.

    The best sound I have heard was found at Jacob Heilbrunn's house.

    Not trying to stir a argument but, Wow! Dart a niche product? I don't agree with that at all, if Dart is niche so is everything else in your system, please explain more? As far as price, let's face it , most of what we lust for is way overpriced in the audio world. Dart is basically in line...
