Hand-built, fully modular, and striking to look at… but as you’ll see in this review, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. In this video, I cover everything from published specs to in-room listening impressions, criticisms of the build and crossover design, full CLIO Pocket measurements, and my final verdict on whether these $11k speakers live up to the hype.
