I was listening to Organ concerto's by Haydn on my Clears today. Don't care what pads they have, they sure sounded nice.

I can't see that this will steal sales from the Clear. No one - or not many - know what it really sounds like and the Clear is wonderful in it's own right. I bought Clears after this appeared ... to compliment my Utopia's and it doesn't worry me one bit - it is a variation on a theme that may suit some but that is about it. Speculation is fun but in reality how different it is going to be ? Time will tell.
when are you reaching for the Clears and when are you reaching for the Utopias?
Just picked up the Clears yesterday from my local friendly Focal dealer. I don't think the Elex is a big bargain either. I could use the case and the 3.5mm cable. The case is US$150, I would value the cable at US$150, which bring the comparable price to $1,100 + shipping and import fees into Canada for the various pieces, so lets say $1,200 all in vs. $1,500. I can see if someone already had cables and didn't need the case, that the Elex is a great bargain. The full-kit for the Clears is pretty compelling to me, and more extended sub-bass is always a good thing, easier to drive is a bonus. Lets hope this is end-game for me for at least a few years.........

I really disliked PM-2 when I had them. Does that mean I wouldn't like Clear?
No way ! I have the Oppo PM-2 as well as the Clear's and the Clear's are massively better !!!
I hated the Oppo's and love the Clear.
I still haven't heard any comparisons to Ether Flow.
