Clarisys Audio MINUET + — ribbon speaker with startling realism and slam
The Clarisys Audio MINUET + pairs full-range planar ribbon clarity with surprising low-end authority: reviewers repeatedly note piano-and-voice realism, razor-sharp treble and deep, fast bass that reaches the high-20s/low-30s Hz. HiFi Advice and Positive Feedback praise the midband timbre as lifelike, while StereoNET highlights speed and dynamic punch.
Build and engineering are clearly priorities: a rigid aluminum subframe, piano-felt damping and a carefully executed internal passive crossover with custom inductors and copper-foil wiring reduce resonance and improve longevity — details emphasized in Dagogo and HiFi Advice. The Minuet Plus is voiced to play equally well at whisper levels and at powerful, room-filling volumes.
Ideal for audiophiles seeking a near-reference midrange, potent dynamics and long-term reliability in a handcrafted, statement tower. The MINUET + rewards systems and rooms that accommodate its size and shipping flight cases.
Pros
- Exceptional midrange transparency and lifelike timbre — reviewers call vocals and piano "real" and revealing.
- Surprising deep, fast bass with strong slam and seamless integration to the ribbon mid/treble.
- Robust engineering and longevity-focused construction — aluminum subframe, piano-felt damping and flight-case shipping for protection.
- Huge dynamics and effortless compliance at both low and very high listening levels.
&
Cons
- Very high price puts them in a competitive ultra-high-end bracket; not an entry-level purchase.
- Large, very heavy towers and flight-case shipping require significant handling and storage space.
- Placement and room space influence performance—benefit from side/back clearance and careful setup.

Bass
95/100
Multiple reviewers measured/experienced extension into the high-20s/low-30s Hz and repeatedly praised the Minuet's deep, fast, and punchy bass (Positive Feedback, HiFi Advice, StereoNET). HiFi Advice calls the bass 'startling' with 'stunning slam' and seamless integration with mids. Given the large, heavy tower and the stated 28Hz (-3dB) spec, 95 sits in the 'excellent' band for a large tower.
Mid
96/100
Reviewers consistently praise midband timbre and realism: 'piano sounds like a piano', 'voices sound like real human voices' and 'magical mids' (Positive Feedback, HiFi Advice, StereoNET). Multiple accounts highlight ribbon transparency and natural instrument tonalities, justifying a near-reference mid performance.
Treble
95/100
Treble is described as immensely transparent, precise and extended ('magical highs', multi-segmented ribbon design to 500Hz) with natural decay and air (HiFi Advice, Positive Feedback, StereoNET). Reviewers did not report harshness; detail and refinement are emphasized.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
Multiple reviewers reported wide, deep soundstages and very focused images ('close your eyes speaker', 'trumpets blast into space') with excellent layering despite slender cabinet profile (Positive Feedback, StereoNET, HiFi Advice). Imaging is stable and evocative in review rooms.
Dynamics
95/100
Dynamics receive unanimous praise: 'dynamics galore', effortless rise from whisper to ear-piercing levels, and solid macro slam even at loud volumes (Positive Feedback, HiFi Advice, Audiophilepure). Reviewers state the Minuet remains composed and impactful.

Build Quality
95/100
Robust aluminum subframe/exoskeleton, dense materials, careful damping (piano felt) and high-quality custom crossover components are repeatedly noted (HiFi Advice, Positive Feedback, Dagogo). Reports of no buzz or resonance and heavy, flight-case shipping imply premium engineering and longevity.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive baseline applied. Reviews note a passive internal crossover using custom inductors, multicap capacitors and copper foil wiring and include jumpers and stands in flight cases; speakers are easily driven by a range of amps including tubes. Per passive-tower rules, score fixed at baseline 80.
Value for Money
78/100
At roughly $46,000/pair reviewers call them expensive but often 'worth every penny' and 'a lifetime speaker' (Positive Feedback, StereoNET, Audiophilepure). Exceptional performance supports premium pricing, but the very high cost keeps the value score tempered.
