In the Nirvana C ballroom, Nguyen Phuong of Clarisys Audio USA played his range of Clarisys Audio Panels, of which the smaller Minuet panel had so impressed me at the recent Florida International Audio Expo. The Clarisys range included the Clarisys Piccolo (TBA), Clarisys Minuet ($46,000/pair), Clarisys Studio Plus ($66,000/pair), Clarisys Auditorium ($180,000/pair), the debut Clarisys Auditorium Plus ($146,000/pair), and Active Crossover ACN400 ($22,500).
Room 352 at AXPONA, where cable constructors Shunyata Research and speaker builders Clarisys had joined forces, was something of a feast for the senses. The Clarisys Minuet speakers ($38,800/pair) look like high-tech heaters in a 1940s film noir, and I mean that in the best possible wayI love how they seem simultaneously retro and thoroughly modern. They sounded wonderful too.
