I wanted to get some feedback from the group about the current value of a pair of CLS IIz in excellent (8/10) condition. I'm currently trying to sell my pair and, while I've had some interest, I'm not getting as many inquiries as I would have expected. Of course the poor economy is likely a...

I've got my CLS IIzs for sale and a prospective buyer inquired with ML about the current cost of replacement panels (the panels sound perfect and don't need replacing as far as I can tell, but the buyer is concerned anyway). He e-mailed Jim Powers who replied that new panels are now...

I meant to post this a while back but didn't get a chance. When I bought my IIzs they came with a pair of Sound Anchor stands. The speakers already pushed the limits size-wise for my relatively small room, so I figured the stands would push them way over the limit visually. So I put the...

I'm currently driving my CLS IIzs with a Plinius SA-103 (preamp is a Hovland HP-100 with MC step-up) and love the combo, but I'm thinking about downsizing my system a bit - but keeping the IIzs :D Since I need phono, I was thinking that a Plinius 9200 might fit the bill, but I wasn't sure if it...

I've hunted around on the web and haven't been able to find any installation instructions for the CLS Sound Anchor stands. I've got a pair that I haven't been able to sell and thought I'd install them and give them a go. But they came with my IIzs and I don't have the installation instructions...

Possible lead on a pair of CLS IIs for anyone interested... I just came across a For Sale posting for a pair of CLS IIs that I'm happy to share with anyone looking for a pair. I don't want to break any rules about posting links to classified sites here (are there any? Didn't see any in the...

I've had my CLS IIzs for about two months and they continue to thrill and amaze me. I was just listening to Ivan Moravec play the Chopin Nocturnes on an old Connoisseur Society LP and it nearly brought tears to my eyes. I've had a lot of speakers come through my room but the only ones in my...

I've been hunting for a minty pair of CLSes for many months and just came across a beautiful pair of one-owner IIZs with SoundAnchor stands practically in my own backyard. I heard them and they sound terrific so I'm scooping them up. I'm probably over paying a bit for them, but I really want...

I'm about to pick up a pair of CLS 1s and am wondering if I'm going to feel that their low end performance is truly inadequate (although they'll be in a relatively small room and I'm not a bass freak). If so, I'd like a few subwoofer suggestions from CLS owners. Is one of the ML subs the best...

Does anyone happen to know if it's possible to replace the frame of a CLS IIz? Can replacements be purchased from Martin Logan??

Hi guys, I've got another opportunity to buy a pair of CLSes and the seller has sent me some photos of the speakers. He claims they're CLS IIs and they panels appear to be, but there's something odd about the serial #s. Firstly, there are no serial #s on the panels and the serial #s on the...

Has anyone ever heard of a Medallion upgrade for the CLS? I haven't been able to find anything about it on the web or here in the archives. TIA, -- bb

I've been on the prowl for a used pair of CLSes for some time and have often wondered which of the series was deemed 'best sounding' by CLS aficionados? The IIz seems to fetch the most $$$ on the used market, presumably because it is newer and easier to drive, but I've read some posts that...

My new (to me) SL3s arrived last week and I've been holding off giving them a good listen until my new Plinius SA-103 arrived. FedEx just dropped this beast of an amplifier off - I can't believe how large the box is, I'm going to need a forklift to get this thing out of the box and into my...

Hi guys, I just noticed that the foam strip that seals the electrostatic panel to the trim rails on one of my SL3s seems to have come loose in one spot and is hanging down in front of the woofer on one speaker. I've never done any surgery on an SL3 before so I'm not sure how easy it is to...

OK, I've done a lot of leg work and I've located one pair of SL3s and one pair of ReQuests in excellent condition. The SL3s are less money, but would need to be shipped. The ReQuests are local. As I've mentioned in some other posts, my dedicated listening room is only 12'x13' so I've been...

I just wanted to verify that replacement panels and other parts are still available from ML for the SL3. I gave ML a call but haven't heard back from them yet, but I thought someone here may know the answer in the meantime.

Is anyone currently using a Plinius SA-103 with their MLs and care to comment on the sound of the pairing? The SA-103 is on my short list of power amps but I haven't had a chance to hear one in person yet.

Well, it looks like my quest (no pun intended!) to secure a pair of CLSes locally has not been fruitful. The seller seems to have been a flake. The more I've researched these the more I know I want a pair. They seem to be everything I'm looking for in a speaker at the moment and suit my...
