I agree the Utopia is a clear step up from the Clear, both more resolve an a more linear low end. I still can't get past that slight hump both the Elear and Clear have and frankly I still think the Utopia is the only Focal I really love without any reservations! That said, the Clear is a HUGE step in the right direction for them and their $1000 offerings and I'm quite impressed with it despite wishing it was a little less bassy.
Oh and my review of it is up! I was so busy prepping for meets I forgot to post it >.>
Yes the $4000 Utopia is at times amazing and better than the Clears. But what the Clear has over the Utopia is... better bass, less siblance, better accessories, price, plus a better all rounder.
