This thread will surely be erratic in opinion. Many varying viewpoints. I run CLSii's with a McIntosh MC257 Power Amp. It's solid state. It does well, but the 250 watts are eaten up for breakfast.
Strongly considering a Magtech by Sanders.
However all these opinions aside, do what your ears...
CLSII's are fantastic. Picked up mine from @Lightloopy on the forum here and have been thrilled with them. I do run two ML Dynamo's with them for an extra kick. Currently feeding them with McIntosh MC257 Power Amp.
I have a few go to tracks that I like.
Son of a preacher man
Little green bag
California dreamin
Virtual insanity
Bittersuite (Motley Crue)
Bell-bottoms
Bring it on home (Zeppelin)
