Clarisys Audio Atrium Launch Event at Warsaw 2024

Yes i heard the piccolo was really good sounding , sweet spot of the line and a bargain !

What was snarky about my comment? it was a joke inline with previous comments on prices..!

I don't know what I have done to deserve your continued snarky comments, but it gets attention so thank you. Our entry model is 20k, the Piccolo. Aluminum frame, color of your choice, full range ribbon design, comes fully assembled in flight cases and uses the same technology as our bigger models. It won best of Show at the CAF.

Am using the newly launched. Diptyque DP160MK 2 one level down from their reference. In my listening space which is not considered large by any means, it's my end game. I got this as pre-order having lived for >1 year with the smaller previous generation DP140mk2.

Been loving it daily it's really special...

Very nice speaker congrats ....!
 
No cloak engaged, we are conducting business and continue to grow the company. Posting on a online forum has a low priority for me. There is more then enough professional coverage on this show via other platforms and channels.


Yes, show pictures! General information and not satisfying the technical curiosity of the same two people who generate absolutely zero value for the company or other actually interested parties.

Speaking of snarky, project much ...... :)

For anyone who has heard the Atriums a question:

They seem able to easily create a true wall of sound. When you are listening to a recording of a small simple voice…do you get a massive wall of voice or does this massive quad of speakers effectively disappear and leave just the small simple voice?

That’s why I call them Schizophrenic. In that admittedly small room sitting so close, vocals imo were too large ie bigger than a human singing in front of you.
I also thought the emotional expression was not present, identifiable when I came home and listened to my own rig.

In a large room, adequate distance and perhaps a better source/amp I’m sure it could achieve a perfect presentation.

If you listen to the My-hiend vid on YouTube between the Clarysis and Magico rooms you can get an idea of the difference.

All imo after listening every day after yummy breakfast at the Golden Tulip.

I did get a few comments on 6ft tall guitars, so others may have heard it the same way in that room ..

Seating location could have played a part.
 
I don't believe so.
We will through Convergent Audio Technology,.as they bought four of our speakers as their new reference replacing Magico.

If you want to listen to a single solo voice, unamplified in a damp room then with strong toe in, then yes. But most music is simple not recorded that way. There are dozen of microphones, there is artificial EQ, space engines and live instruments are huge. The Atrium is not for everyone.

I want a live concert in my living room, I want massive speed, scale and dynamics. That's why the Atrium exists. Most people can't wrap their head around them, and that's fine. It's not designed to please audiophiles but designed to be brutal, large scale, ultra raw and high bandwidth.

That was my sense from the video. Don’t get me wrong, I am massively impressed by the video and there is a lot to like in it and it definitely appears to have all the makings of a next level reference. Would definitely like to hear it some day.

Thank you. I think my question was more about whether the speaker was taking what actually is a single small human voice and due its fantastically huge surface area of speaker, somehow then making the original recording literally larger than life.

Don’t get me wrong…as soon as I heard this video…I literally put it on my very very shortlist of next level Uber references to hear. The Apogee Stages remain one of my all time favourites and yours are Apogees to the next level…and then you mated the design with the original ambition of the IRS Infinity V of old. So I am truly inspired.

I am asking because it helps to understand (until I can hear for myself which I would like to someday) what the experience is like. Many of the traits of all out assault quality were already highly suggested in the video.

Interestingly, while the larger than recording human voice would be a consideration for me…I also will say that my next speakers must do all out effortless scale. Which is why I have been intrigued by 4-tower speakers like the Genesis Ones, the AG Trio G3 + Dual horns, the Evolution Acoustics references and your massive Atriums.

It will not project it larger and here is why:

"In non-tonal languages the consonants are important. The consonants (k, p, s, t, etc.) are predominantly found in the frequency range above 500 Hz. More specifically, in the 2 kHz-4 kHz frequency range. "

Our midrange ribbon (single, pure ribbon, pure aluminium driver) starts at 250Hz (-6db) and plays open end. So, the entire voice comes from a single line source driver. We have build a bearing system below the tower so you adjust the focal point according to your liking. Increasing or decreasing the size, depending on prefference and room acoustics.

We have replaced Evolution Acoustics MM7s with the smaller Auditoriums, the owner is on this forum as well, maybe he wants to add something about that. We also replaced Alsyvox Bottichelli X with Auditoriums; owner also on this forum. Interestingly enough we replace mostly dynamic speakers such as Magicos and Wilsons.

Cheers

Thank you! That is interesting to know.

As for Evolution MM7 that is super interesting to know as well.

Guess I just need to hear them! I will PM you.

I can highly recommend a visit to Florian's place - especially now with some tubes in the signal path ;-) I'm definitely keen for a return visit.
