My repair guy still has them and I haven't really bugged him about it. I actually forgot about them it's been so long and I wasn't in a hurry. I'll have to get an update from him.

He gave both units a clean bill of health. He said both are operating perfectly as they should be so the problems are with the panels. Tomorrow I'll bring him the panels so he can inspect them for breaks and separations and he wants to make sure the wires are properly connected to the...

Dana from ML sent me a set of new ps transformers since the thinking is that somehow they were damaged from a power surge of some sort. I installed one of them and it didn't solve the problem so today I'm heading to my amp repair guy who said he would take a look at them for me. I also found...

Hi Bernard! (same name as mine) That's not a stupid question at all but yes, it's the same outlet my system is plugged into. I even thought maybe the power cords went bad but no luck there either. I'm waiting back for a response from ML for their thoughts before I start ordering new...

Thanks for the info Brad225. I'll probably end up going that route eventually but first I need to just get these power supplies operational to see what shape the panels are in. I don't want to do a complete rebuild only to then discover they still sound bad due to bad panels. Because of their...

To hear anything at all, the volume has to be all the way up and then the sound is distorted. I then accidently unplugged one speaker and realized that when plugged back in to the wall outlet, it made no difference at all so I came to the conclusion that the power supply wasn't supplying any...

Yeah, I see it now. I'm new to ML but I'm taking it all in with the help of this forum. Thanks guys!

Looking at pictures of the CLS and the CLS II, am I correct in seeing that the panels on the CLS did not have the vertical edge sections but the CLS IIs did? My speakers have the vertical edge sections but the old power supplies, so if I'm right, someone replaced the panels already. Is the old...

I think your advice was the same as what Roberto advised me to do also. I couldn't open the schematic because I'm not a DIY member but I did check the resistors Roberto told me to and I did find issues. Apparently my speakers are very early versions according to Roberto. Serial # 1260.

It just says The CLS.

I paid 125.00 but they're not working properly. I think it's a problem with the power supply though.

The fuses are good. Without realizing it, the speaker I was working on came unplugged from the wall, but when I plugged it back in it never changed at all. Does that mean the panels are not getting charged and it may be a problem with my crossovers? Odd that both are like that though.

Hi, They're originals and very early ones I think. Only one electronic box has a serial number which is 1260. I can't find any other number anywhere else. These have the transformers outside the box.

I found a really nice looking pair over the weekend in beautiful shape but I've never owned Martin Logan speakers before so I'm unfamiliar with the problems I encountered once I hooked them up. I can barely hear anything from either speaker with the volume turned way up, and what I do hear is...

I've owned many different speakers but always wanted to try Martin Logan speakers and this weekend I came across a pair. Of all places I found them at a thrift store and they're in great shape physically, so now I'm a new ML owner! They're a pair of CLS, and I believe a very old pair but I'll...
