I saw it, but didn't hear it. I once owned the Scenario which the Clarity is supposed to replace. If it sounds similar, you will get good value with a few caveats.
First, they are very room dependent. Only use them in an appropriate size room (not too large) and make sure you have the ability to fiddle with placement. Second, the sweet spot is extremely tight so keep that in mind based on your application. Finally, use appropriate amplification that is synergistic with the ML (i.e. the VTL integrated is an extremely good match in this same budget range.)
Frankly, if you're only going for 2 channel, it might be better to find a used Scenario or, even better, an Aerius. The Clarity looks like it is more designed for multi-channel systems. It has that wacky extra tweeter mounted on the back. Supposedly, the extra tweeter enhances the sound if used in a multi-channel arrangement. You can (and I suspect should) turn it off for two channel listening.
One good thing about ML speakers is that you historically get the same technology and parts throughout the speaker line. Thus, if you like the big versions, the smaller/cheaper versions should be more similar than you would normally expect in comparable size rooms.
I'm not sure if the new Clarity is using the same trickle down technology though. The addition of that tweeter makes me think not, so check with the dealer and give them a listen.
