Marcos, were you by any chance in Audio Resource in Metairie, Louisiana? I was there this evening for a little get-together that included Gale Sanders, and spent a while listening to the new Claritys there.
The Clarity impressed me quite a bit. I really like what that little tweeter does. You see, it's positioned far enough back that its contribution is to the reverberant sound, not the imaging-critical first-arrival sound. The result is a more spacious soundstage when you're in the sweet spot, and a tonally more balanced presentation from outside the sweet spot. I used to advocate a similar technique for use with the original Quad ESL's (the "57's").
The Clarity is a very fine little loudspeaker. In too big a room the bass would be inadequate because the woofer's output will fall off more rapidly with distance than the panel's output will. So don't try to make it fill a big room - no can do.
I tip my hat to Gale Sanders and his engineers on a very intelligently designed and nicely voiced little speaker.
