    How narrow is too narrow for CLXs?

    I have a pair of CLXs in my current room that is about 17ft wide. I have an interested buyer that is trying to find feedback or real world examples of these being used in more narrow rooms. His room is about 12ft wide. He has no problem on depth and can get them 5-6 feet from the front wall...

    Blending subs manually with phase control, etc vs Audyssey

    Is it necessary to blend subs with main speakers using the sub controls still? Obviously sub positioning and number of subs is quite important, but I still see many people talking about blending the sub phase and crossover (like the special crossover on the Descent i for the CLX). I would...

    Best Martin Logan center channel for AT screen?

    I posted in another thread about how I intend to get an acoustically transparent screen soon so I can go very wide for my screen size in my home theater setup and also position the center (have been using phantom center so far) exactly where it needs to be. My mains are CLXs. So my question...

    CLX and Acoustically transparent screens

    I have CLX speakers. Since the panel for both bass and upper frequencies goes pretty close to the floor, even with an AT screen being positioned so my eyes are 1/3 the way up from the bottom of the screen, some of the panel would be covered by the bottom aluminum frame going across it...

    Worth it to replace my Vignettes as surrounds?

    I have a pair of CLX in the front, and am currently using Vignettes for surrounds. They are "OK" but I feel I am missing some sort of coherence between the fronts and surrounds. THis may very well be room setup, but I am wondering if the differing technology is also to blame. So I am not...

    ML warranty question

    Do I have to send in the physical warranty card for the 5 year warranty to be valid or is registering online all that is required? Or is anything required at all?

    Would the sealed HSU 15" subs mate well with a pair of CLXs?

    I have been told that I should heavily consider a pair of HSU ULS-15 sealed subs over the JL audio f113 pair I was going to mate with my CLXs. Its certainly attractive from a financial standpoint as two new HSU subs cost about what one used f113 costs. Does anyone here have experience with...

    Curious improvement after buying monoblocks for Summits...

    So I hear better detail, better separation, more "ease" to the sound, but the most noticeable improvement seems to be in the bass... more defined, punchier, etc... why would this be? The drivers are already self amplified so why would a nice powerful new amp replacing a receiver's amps...

    Just got monoblock amps for my Summits... setup question

    The amps are Emotiva XPA-1 monoblocks. Is it demonstrably superior to run long balanced interconnects to the amps and locate them directly beside the summits and keep the speaker cables as short as possible? Or just run short interconnects to the amps and long speaker cables? The long run will...

    Is my room size and layout appropriate for CLXs?

    I currently have ML Summits that sound fantastic, but of course there is always that last bit of bliss we all think we can achieve. I am considering used CLXs, but want to know if my room sounds like a good fit. My Summits are dialed in well, but since the CLXs are considerably wider, with...

    How well does the Vignette integrate?

    I am considering the Vignette's due to their low price and ease of installation, but how well do these integrate sonically with Summits for side surrounds? They seem to be a radical departure from the ESL series, so are they really worth a try? Since they are so cheap right now on Amazon I...

    SVS pc13 ultra vs Descent i?

    Right now I have a pair of Summits and one SVS pc13ultra - the cylinder version of their sub. I have been considering getting a second, or selling the one I have and getting two Descent i's (used). I am pretty happy with the SVS, but havent had other "high end" subs in my room to compare...

    Would the Clarity be a good choice for side surrounds to match with Summit fronts?

    I only have the Summits right now and am looking for appropriate surrounds (and center, but I assume I will be getting the Stage - although the traditional drivers concern me vs ESL panels...)

    Why are all the center channel speakers hybrid designs?

    Just wondering... Seems like not having a regular tweeter would be best. Im sure its something that cannot be avoided, just wondering why. Does anyone feel the hybrid tweeter takes away from the sound? This is just about the tweeter, by the way. I understand size for the bass drivers...

    Should I even bother getting ML speakers?

    My room is about 16'10"W x 27'L x ~11'H (at the front). I have a 133" 16:9 screen (116" w). Given that screen size, the most the ML speakers (I want to buy Summits) could be from the side walls would be ~3ft - probably to the center of the panel. Even that is pushing it a little as I have...
