I have two Martin Logan electrostatic rigs with tubes. CLX matched to a pair of 805 single ended tube monoblocks and a pair of Requests with 6550 class AB push/pull. I have also run transistor power amp on the Requests. Go class A if you can. The 805 is nice with 50w. I also had an 845...

I would try swapping your left/right channel rca/xlr upstream. Could be cable or preamp output causing the issue. That’s an easier first step than moving the CLX.

I’ve had a lot of high-end rigs and combinations. IMO, a single ended tube (Class A) design mated to a ML electrostatic is the most pleasing and rich sound I’ve ever experienced. Maybe not the loudest compared to horns driven by a couple hundred watts per channel. But very pleasing and musical...

You’ll probably be fine with low levels, but risk your monoblocks at higher levels. Electrostatics are known for their impedance swings. With ML stats… high frequencies have low impedance, lower frequencies have high impedance. I had a similar transistor amp, Akai PS200M that failed driving...

I have been listening to the CLX for past 12 years. Never a problem with them. Incredible detail and sound stage.
