I have used the CLS IIz in the past and currently own the Spires. The CLSIIz is a great speaker but a very problematic one. For starters it need a large room. Even in a large room its very difficult to setup and match. The sweet spot is very narrow and as you move your head left and right the...

I am using the Murano Audio P-1000s which is based on ICEPower 1000ASP modules. Each monoblock has a lyndhal input transformer similar to the Jeff Rowland 505. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the Rotel 1565. If its class D you should try to find out which modules are used inside as these...

Hi all, Just read the thread as listening to my Murano P-1000s driving my ML Spires. In the last month or so I was listening to the Spires through my rebuilt Beard Audio P100 tube power amplifier. The rebuilt Beard is surely one of the better tube amps I have had the pleasure t olisten t oin my...

I am using a Beard P100 90w tube amp to drive my Spires and it works beutifully. With tube amps you might get a slightly roled off extreme treble (over 16KHz) because of the low impedance of the panel at these frequencies. I don't find this a problem because it roles off very gracefully and my...

Hi Rob, I have the Bel Canto Ref1000 driving a pair of Spires and I like them very much. Great amps! My only comment is that the IcePower amps have difficulty driving low impedances at high frequencies. With the Spire this is not a problem and the amps never shut down. I had a pair of CLS's in...

Finally recieved my Spires a couple of days ago. They are currently in the breakin process. Some points I noticed already are: 1. The Spires are much more dynamic and resolving then the Ascent i. 2. Out of the box they are too bright and the bass is not what I expect. 3. After two continous...

It depends on which Jeff Rowland gear you are refering to. If it their current line of class D ICEPower based amps, I am running a ML Spire through a Murano P-1000s (identical to the JR 505 power monoblocks) and its a wonderful match. Superbly detailed with great soundstage and presence factor...

The Ear-1001 is idenical to the Murano I have (uses the sames 1000ASP ICEPower modules) and should work great. These modules are truely amazing. Why not get both and ICEPower and Tube:ROFL: I live to alternate between tube ad solid state amplification.

I am using to power amplification setups. One using a pair of Murano ICEPower based class D monoblocks. These are basically identical to the Bel Canto Ref100 and Jeff Rowland 505. These amps are super detailed with great drive, timing, soundstage, and have some of the best presence I have heard...

Try out the WireWorld power cables. They have a line of noise cancelling power cables starting at $100. Search the web to see some of the things said about these cable. I can testify that they really work and make a huge difference. I do not use any power conditioners and only use these cables...

The Lyngdorf is my most treasured hifi component. Changed my whole listening to music experience. Can't imagine myself seriously listening to music without room correction.:music:

No idea about prices in the US as I am from Israel.

Hi, I just sold my ML Ascent i a month ago to but the Spire. Since the Spires were not in stock and I need to wait another couple of weeks to get them. A freind gave me a Celestion SL600si so that I can enjoy music until my new speakers arrive. What a suprise the Celestions were! I did not...

Hi Jimna, I had a pair of CLS IIz for awhile. Great speakers if you have the space and take great care with placement. As for amplifier choice, and assuming you do have a large room that can do justice to the CLS, the Adcom will not be able to develop any reasonable loadness levels (that is...

Upgrading my preamplifier to Lyngdorf DPA-1 preamp with Room Correction. You will not believe the change this has made to my system. Sound stage definition, placement of instruments in the stage, definition, bass clarity, presence... Its all there! The Lyngdorf if a wonderful preamp even without...
