Clearaudio's top-of-the-line, limited-edition version encased in a wood body. Its output is the highest of any in the test, and it tracks at 2.8 grams. The sonic soundstage is quite wide, with extension right to the listening room (damped) walls. The solidity of those images at the outsides of the speakers was not equaled by any other design. On individual sounds the way the Clearaudio retrieves information is startling, and its ability to recreate the action taking place at the rear of the soundstage is exceptional.
