All New Clarisys Audio Minuet Loudspeakers !

[Bbock]

How much do these weigh each? I have seen one report saying they are 160Lbs and another 220 lbs. Big difference!

209 lbs each —does not include weight of flight cases. I’m purchasing the Studio Plus. Those are 253 lbs each.

Thanks,
Sigh...I'm getting a little too old for moving that kinda of weight. (at least to keep them from crashing).

They are on very sturdy and stable stands. I tried to move one at the show and there was little if any wobble. Really had to put effort into it. Never would have to worry about them tipping. But I understand.

Some of the best sound I heard at Axpona this year, in obviously compromised conditions in tiny rooms.

Yet Clarisys kicked ass in both of their rooms!!! Congratulations

.I don't Audio Kharma but he sounds like he is drunk on the coolaid without ever hearing the products. that the guy who is showing them says they are better than yours but he doesnt have yours. His amps are better than CH Precison his sound great theirs are "dry". He trashed CH Precision and claimed he was offered them and he passed . This is a non truth! They aren't his "cup of tea" He even started a competing platform to spread this stuff. Hes a good businessman that I give him but audio expert..... The members here are smarter than to fall for this stuff. Many of these opinions have no basis and they are ones offering them all they can do is toss around a few vague audiophile terms with little or no meaning. This speaker is a remake of the Apogee a speaker that had a load of problems particularly with reliability and amplifiers being able to drive them FACT. That is not to say the new ones will have the same issues only do your homework if that is what you want.
Maybe some times people should think about where they are getting their information from and who is that source and what are their qualifications. Do your own homework and stop taking a survey, a survey of unqualified answers doesn't help you get closer to the facts. This was said by an old wise man...lol ME.
Youtube is not the truth, nor is Facebook and the majority of posts their are just OPINIONS from very minimally qualified people.
Me personally I am really bored with all the know it alls on youtube NONE of which have any real experience or background in audio.

NEWS FLASH - these guys are all trying to make money please keep this in mind.
Sorry I just had a moment LOL

Hi Elliot,
Can you please once and for all define what you mean an "audio expert"?
Thanks in advance

Florian, I am in Hanoi at the moment.

If you see this, is there anywhere they can be heard here?

Disappointing there was no response for an audition at the home of their manufacture, Florian.

To be quite frank I know Florian has been around a while and is in my estimation a genuine fan.

I am feeling a Munich visit is necessary this year so it doesn't really matter.

The breed is important at the highest level so I am glad Graz, John, Henk, Florian and Daniele are keeping it real.

Plus whatever Vietnamese I never met are trying to do. The friendliest people I have met in a long time. C'mon world, stop invading Vietnam. Totally not worth invading at any point in history IMHO.

 

[ozzzy]

I am interested in them; I wish I could have heard them at AXPONA.
My past experience with buying speakers without hearing them first has not been good.

I thought the Hegel amp had better synergy with the Minuets (in the Hegel room).

Why did you prefer the Hegel electronics over the Constellation electronics?

Vietnamese are also had working and there are some fantastic Vietnamese restaurants around. Worth a try! Love that food.

karma, the question is (did I miss it up-thread somewhere) what were your personal impressions? You’re clearly acting as a brand evangelist here. Nothing wrong with that, I did the same after listening to Diesis Roma several years back.

I personally was only able to listen to a couple songs in the room with the Constellation amp. My caveat on the Minuets is they are quite short, so the image stays low. Even the studio plus is just a wee bit taller (a couple centimeters) than the Alsyvox Tintoretto (alsyvox’ small model). To me one of the reasons to own a panel speaker is to get a wall of sound. There is no shortage 40“—50” speakers. You have to get into Auditorium size to be up with Alsyvox Botticelli (Auditorium is taller than Botticelli closer to Rafaello) and Auditorium is more $$ than Boticcelli X. So a real compare would be called for if dropping that kind of $$.

I don’t mean in any way to say one is better than the other I’ve not lived with Clarysis like I have with Alsyvox. I thought the Clarysis were quite good based only a brief listen.

Ron, to me there was a definite difference in the sound. It helped to listen to a couple of the same songs. I thought the Hegel sound was more natural, especially in the midrange. More body to the voice. Nice well-defined top end, not at all etched, yet extended. The Constellation sound, to me was the opposite of that. Midrange a little dry and recessed, top end more etched, a tad harsh on some music( but only on comparison). I don’t really remember much difference in the bass.

The rooms were similar size and setup, so that effect should be wash. The Hegel amp was their new H30A.

Thank you!

When they become available in the USA (in stock) I may buy a pair.

Holm Audio in Woodridge Illinois is going to be carrying the line. Both the Minuet and Studio Plus have been ordered and are expected to arrive in about six weeks.

Thanks, good to know, but you omitted my second and key point - Comparing a 15 - year - old speaker design to a new one.

Neither speaker design is new - they've been around in one form or another for years...

Ron,
I live in SE Michigan.
