Clarisys Audio Minuet
This Swiss-calibrated ribbon speaker delivers commanding presence and effortless dynamics with breathtaking scale and authority for medium to large rooms.
More Presence. More Power. More Emotion: The Next Level of Immersive Ribbon Performance
The Clarisys Minuet builds on the foundation of the Piccolo with a larger, more dynamic presentation—while retaining the speed, transparency, and effortlessness that define every Clarisys loudspeaker.
A larger radiating surface and deeper, more powerful bass panel give the Minuet greater scale, authority, and ease. Enhanced microdynamics reveal subtle gradations in texture and expression that lesser speakers simply overlook. The result is a loudspeaker ideally suited for medium to large listening rooms and high-performance systems where music deserves to breathe.
The enclosure is crafted from rigid aluminum, machined to exacting tolerances for mechanical stability and resonance control. Like all Clarisys models, the Minuet is assembled in Hanoi, Vietnam, with final calibration and quality control performed in Zwingen, Switzerland.
For those seeking a loudspeaker that reveals the truth in every note—with scale, speed, and soul—the Minuet is a true reference.
The Science of Ribbon Mastery
Clarisys speakers operate on a fundamentally different principle than conventional loudspeakers. Full-range ribbon drivers—ultra-thin diaphragms suspended in powerful magnetic fields—deliver performance impossible to achieve with traditional cone-based designs.
The moving mass of a ribbon is a fraction of a conventional driver, enabling transient response that captures the leading edge of every note with startling realism. Because the signal is distributed evenly across the diaphragm rather than concentrated at a voice coil, the ribbon moves as a unified surface—near-perfect pistonic motion with vanishingly low distortion at any volume.
The true bipole configuration radiates sound equally from front and rear, in phase, minimizing floor and ceiling reflections while creating the open, three-dimensional acoustic space that defines the Clarisys sound. And without a traditional enclosure, there are no box resonances to color or obscure the signal.
The result is coherence, transparency, and emotional immediacy that conventional speakers simply cannot replicate.

Clarisys Audio exists at the intersection of obsessive engineering and pure musical emotion. What began as a group of dedicated audiophiles fabricating parts for cherished vintage Apogee speakers evolved into something more ambitious—a fundamental question of what a ribbon loudspeaker could become if designed without compromise. The answer wasn't replication. It was reinvention. Clarisys develops true bipole pure aluminum midrange ribbons—a world first. Their double-sided bass panels deliver dynamics and extension that challenge assumptions about what planar designs can achieve. The entire lineup shares the same DNA of speed, transparency, and the kind of spatial realism that makes you forget you're listening to a system at all, connecting you directly to the soul of a recording.
