I finally got an opportunity to see and hear the CLX today. First of all I must say that when pictures were first posted I called the CLX look...cobbled together in someone's garage. I now retract that statement. The fit and finish of the cherry speakers I got to audition is typical ML, which is to say top-notch. However, there is no way that I can call the speakers all that attractive. They are what I might term, an "audiophiles child" something only a mother could love in the visual sense. Understand that is just my opinion and UMMV.
Fortunatly, ugly children frequently have virtues that make them lovable in their own way and that is certainly the case with the CLX. The sound.... the sound...well it's very hard to explain without waxing into superlatives. Clear, concise, coherent, convincing and classy are the words that pop into my mind. Even though the entire suite of electronics being used (Krell SS pre, Krell SS Monos and a Meridian 808.2) was not to my taste, it was very evident that the CLX needs to be considered as being in a class by itself.
