Really good posts above.

I forgot to add this...The CSVR A clarinet is by far the best A clarinet I've ever played. It is so enjoyable to play! The Buffet A's are good with a fair amount of resistance and I'm OK with that. However, the Yamaha A plays like their Bb, free blowing with just enough resistance we are all looking for. I really can't feel the difference between the 2 Bb and A CSVR horns. They sound and act the same.

Added, I was always timid with the upper register, above C with the A clarinets, comparing the Buffet A and the Yamaha A. When hitting the F several times on the Buffet R13 it would jump to the high A. I just HATED that. There was this fear when performing. Well the Yamaha has never let me down. I have no fear when playing above the high C. The Yamaha A also tunes a bit better, not a lot. The upper register blends better with the flutes, oboes, french horns. These instruments tend to go a tad bit sharp up high, maybe 442, the R13's tend to drop say from 440 to 438. Not much really, but it is noticeable. The CSVR A clarinets hold the pitch at 440. Cheers!
