[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8345457, member: 576029"] i've had the Clarus and Imagine lines and we put them in the sound board at the local shop to compare side-by-side with many speakers. HSK was better than the Clarus by a huge margin. Nothing i've heard compares to MLK - and the first time you hear them you wonder what's missing, then you realize it's not adding anything. i returned the Clarus to HAT. I will say that when I put the Clarus in a custom enclosure for auditioning in a room, they sounded good. Not as good as others, but good. So if you plan on custom kicks or sealed door pods, you can probably get the Clarus to sound good. People consider the Legatia series to be a top tier speaker - but i see a lot of Legatia for sale as well - which tells me that people are wanting something else. A sound board isn't an ideal location for critical listening but it is an even playing field for evaluation of speakers in IB with consistent tweeter locations relative to the woofer. We use an Alpine HU with processing defeated feeding an Audision LRx amp when auditioning. [/QUOTE]
