    best amp for the cls iiz under $1500.00 new or used ?

    Harry, Be sure and report back when you get the W4S amp hooked up! I'm seriously considering running their largest 500 wpc version on my CLSII's. My room is not too big at 12'x21' and I'm sure the W4S will do just fine with the low impedance presented by the CLS. My biggest 'problem' (if it...

    Who has the oldest Martin Logans

    I believe the reason you don't care is in your sig: Krell fpb 300cx ;)

    CLS strengths and weaknesses

    Yep, that's right about where I figure they are going to end up. :cheers: Depth is good...the room is 24' deep, but I'm going to shorten it up to 21' for better acoustics. Plenty of room to pull them out away from the HT screen wall.

    CLS strengths and weaknesses

    I believe this is a great statement. I have a dedicated HT room that is a bonus room above the garage...very well isolated from the rest of the house. When we built the house, for whatever reason a dedicated audio room was not on my radar (I still haven't figured out why :confused:) and we...

    Who has the oldest Martin Logans

    This is very possible! I purchased my CLSIIa's a few months ago. The seller bought them from his buddy (original owner) who had an audio shop in Idaho. He told me that just before he bought them, they had been sent back to ML for what he called "a $600 electronics upgrade." I sent an email to...

    ML Newbie with CLS speakers

    I just saw that these had sold on Audiogon for $750 and thought, "Wow, what a lucky dog!" So you're the lucky dog? Congratulations on your fantastic purchase! :music:

    Heading to listen to the CLX in Seattle !

    I feel compelled to quote Beavis and Butthead here after checking out that page: "Sluts are cool." :D

    Heading to listen to the CLX in Seattle !

    I nearly spit out my swig of Kokanee when reading this! :D Not exactly sure what **** is, but I 'inserted' what seemed to fit. ;)

    New CLSIIa owner with a few questions

    I have a feeling I would really like them on a nice fat tube amp...but I'm not sure I want to deal with the 'high maintenance' that a big power tube amp might require. I have a 38 wpc Onix (Melody) SP3 right now, but this obviously wouldn't cut it driving the CLS.

    New CLSIIa owner with a few questions

    Thanks for the info DTB. I can't wait to be able to get these into their permanent home and start playing with them...but I'm going to have to as I am leaving Saturday for a 2-week vacation, and I still haven't started on finishing the room yet. :(

    New CLSIIa owner with a few questions

    Cheap is right on those Behringer's. :p A knockoff of a decent QSC design using lesser quality parts. They make decent sub amps if not pushed too hard I suppose. I actually have 5 QSC DCA 1622 amps (300 wpc @ 8 ohms, 500 wpc @ 4 ohms, 700 wpc @ 2 ohms) and was thinking of trying one out, but it...

    New CLSIIa owner with a few questions

    I would like to thank everyone for all of the CLS tips! :bowdown: Yep, they are old. I looked for wrinkling and see no signs. They are in remarkably good condition for their age...kind of reminds me of my aunt's '58 Corvette convertible w/ a fuelie 283 and 44,000 original unrestored...

    New CLSIIa owner with a few questions

    The panels are CS2AH630 and 631 and the electronics CEAIO13. Referencing the secret decoder sticky, it doesn't look like these things could be much older. :( #13 for the electronics...maybe they're borderline collectable with numbers that low. :rolleyes: They passed the dB check perfectly...

    What have I gotten myself into...???

    C.A.P., Thanks for the warm welcome and the tips! I wrote a somewhat-longish post in the main discussion area with some questions; of which you have addressed at least half of them here. ;) Stands are near the top of the to-do list. Your metal ones are nice. I also like a few of the oak...

    New CLSIIa owner with a few questions

    Hello all! As of a few days ago, I haphazardly became the owner of a mint pair of oak CLS IIa's. I was in Spokane, WA on business and after finishing work for the day, an associate had Craigslist up on his laptop and I spotted these sitting proudly in the middle of a bunch of 'Sony XPlod subs'...
