๐Ÿ”ถ Focal Clear

So generally I will say that both the clear and the arya have fairly unique presentation and spatial recreation (where the clear is a bit more intimate spherical/bubble with lots of depth and the arya is a more grand some might say speaker like presentation) where the auteur is going to be more average/normal imo (but still good). Timbre wise I think the autuer has the most natural timbre and most organic sound. Control wise I might say depending on the amp the clear has the most control out of the bunch at times. Impact wise the auteur has the most organic impact where the arya has the largest sounding impact, the clear sits in the middle imo. Detail wise, I might actually argue the clear has the most detail retrieval for the price but that depends on the amp and the arya can be more reliably detailed, auteur isnโ€™t far behind both tbh. Both the clear and auteur are something I would call neutral, and the arya is more bright neutral I would say. In terms of smoothness or forgivingness, the auteur seems to be the most forgiving, but the clear can actually be forgiving at times, where the arya can feel more raw at times. In terms of refinement I do think the clear and auteur sound more refined than the arya. Amp wise for pairing it can really depend the arya is clearly the most amp dependent in terms of power, but the clear is the most amp picky quality wise, the auteur sits somewhere in the middle
