Awesome! Let us know more details as you get more experience.

Need4, how do you like the subs? I am considering a pair of 210s to go with my CLXes.

Hi all, I have CLXes with a JL f113 and an old Depth sub. The f113 never really worked well with the CLXes, so I only use it for LFE. The Depth is only used for music. It's okay, but not great, basically just filler. I considered a second f113 with an electronic crossover, but it is just...

Marck, If the dealer is bringing you brand new CLXes, they will not sound anywhere near where they will when they break in. My speakers were bright to the point of harshness out of the box and they actually got worse before they got better. At about 200 hours, they improve dramatically. You...

Hi Marck. Funny, I just realized that I have never heard any Martin Logan other than the CLXes! So I certainly cannot compare them to Summit X. However, I did hear them back to back with the acclaimed $60K Magico Q5's and I felt that the CLXes were clearly superior. The break in period was...

I have an older Depth in my bedroom system. I moved it upstairs when I replaced it with the JL f113 which I thought was far superior with my previous speakers. I am wondering if now the Depth would be a better match for the CLXes. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Hey gang, I'm back! Been spending a lot of time with the CLXes. What a difference a few months make! The brightness that I experienced is gone. They have settled in wonderfully. Bad recordings are still awful, but so be it. The other night i listened to side 2 of Wish You Were Here on an...

Masterlu is a guy named Ivan from Florida. I believe he started Audio Aficionado. That signiture is for real, he has an insane system. Knows his stuff too.

Gordon, I am fascinated by MBL speakers. I only heard them once at a show and they were not set up right and sounded terrible. The guy sitting next to me had heard other MBL's and confirmed that something was very wrong, so I disregard that experience. I would love to listen to them again if...

Liking the thread direction! First, thanks again for all the great feedback! It has been both helpful and enlightening. On the old music lover vs. audiophile argument, I love both! The equipment fascinates me. I love reading about it, talking about, and most of all listening to it. The...

Great idea! I will do that later today. Thanks!

OK, major tweaking tonight with much improvement. I mounted the spikes and placed them on top of 3/4 inch thick solid Corian 2X2 squires with dimples drilled into the center. They are aligned perfectly vertical. They are within a 1/2 inch of the side wall distance recommended in the manual...

I just re-read Valin's TAS review of the CLXes. Man, is he on the money. These speakers are completely unforgiving, if it is not a great recording, it does not sound good. 30% of my music is mind-blowing, some of the best sounds I've ever heard (this alone makes it worth it to me). 40% is...

System is all unplugged until tonight while Miss Irene pays us a visit. So far, so good, but it's not over. We still have power, but I'm worried about surges, so not taking any chances.
