    Thank you. I had a very excited Euro dealer friend call me and rave about them. We started communicating early in 2022. We had evaluation pairs throughout 2022 and countless discussions. We inked the deal for Jan 1, 2023.

    Re: Clarisys Audio

    What is the actual unpackaged weight of the Minuet speaker?

    I have watched every video and reviewed every website I can find, and the actual weight of the Minute stated varies greatly.

    This what Suncoast website shows:

    Specifications

    Height: 3.9 ft
    Depth: 3.5 in
    Width: 2 ft
    Weight: 165 lbs piece without flight case packaging

    This is what shows on another Clarisys website:

    Specifications
    Height: 3.9 ft
    Depth: 3.5 in
    Width: 2 ft
    Weight: 200 lbs piece without flight case packaging

    Here is another in kg:

    Height: 121cm
    Depth: 9cm
    Width: 70cm
    Weight: 95 kg a piece without flightcase packaging (215kg shipping weight)

    However, 95kg= 209lb

    And, I’m pretty sure I have also seen them listed as 220 lbs. without the flight case.
    So, what do they weigh?

    The speaker is about 220 pounds with the new bases and the neodymium magnets.

    The old version with the ferrite magnets and no bases was lighter. Maybe that’s where you’re confused.

    Re: Clarisys Audio

    I remember when I first listened to the Apogees. It was a revelation to me. I fell in love with planars then. I have to assume that these speakers will sound even better. My one and only suggestion would be for them to consider rounding the edges to make the speakers look less chunky, but I realize that this is a taste issue not sound related.
    I wish Clarisys much success.

    Yuck. Don’t agree. They don’t want to look like an arched window.

    I think they look absolutely stunning.

    I notice that external crossover output is on the same side as input. Shouldn’t they are on the opposite sides for easier connections?

    ?

    It’s a straight run from the crossover to the speaker.

    The external crossover is a rectangular box. All inputs and outputs are on the same side of the rectangular box. Vivid external crossover is different. Speaker inputs are on one side and the cable connecting to the speaker are on the opposite side of speaker inputs.

    Wouldn’t Vivid arrangement is more sensible?

    No. This way, the engraving/terminals are all on one side and some of the crossovers we’ve sold have a nice wooden front/top to match the speaker so the terminals are hidden at the back, especially if the crossover sits between the speaker and the amp visible to the listener. But if you want yours a different way, I’m sure it can be arranged since everything is built in house.
