When I lived in Prague a few years ago I tried 2 C clarinets: an Amati and a Ridenour.
The Ridenour was immediately sent back because the intonation was unacceptably poor at the bottom notes.
I contacted Amati and they sent one unit to their Prague dealer. No intonation problems but it felt stuffy and not particularly enjoyable to play. Seeing @hurstfatm's comment above, it could very well have been a padding issue. I recall the pads in the upper tenon were bulky and the corks were set such the pads were very close to the tone holes when open, either to keep tuning down or just an assembly oversight.
