I have described the differences in the keys a few weeks ago in detail (and claimed that the Boehm system is easier for beginners).
Also, German clarinets have other bore dimensions. More important, German clarinetists use a smaller reed, and a narrower mouthpiece. The tip opening might be individually chosen, but for the heavier reeds you will need less.
I can't say much about the sound differences, for it might be quite inidivdual. And from records, I can only hear the individual differences. One would think that the more robust embouchure results in a more stable and concentrated, but less flexible sound production. But what do I know?
If you want more details, I will be happy to measure my both clarinets for you. But they are both not on the pro level.
