Tom, Thank you for your wonderful review. The play-by-play reporting was cool, makes us feel like we were in the room with you. Question for you: how do you compare the CLX to the Statement E2? Understand that the CLX is not full range but perhaps you can offer any impression that you may...

Marc, the Transparents have always been a good match with the Krells -- I see them being at shows together often. How much is the top of the line Transparents I dare ask? Question: why didn't you match the Ref3 w the REf610? CC

Runco, I really like the sound of the Ayre MX-R. Heard it once at a friend's home and it sounded superb, better than the Krell Evo 1s which he was comparing it to. However, I don't think that it would provide me w adequate power, even if I bi-amp w 2 pairs of monoblocks. I play music at...

Marc, that is a very intriguing combination..the ARC and the Krell...how is the matching from an output/input impedance stanpoint I love the sound of the ARC but worry about the reliability of its amps CC

The CJ is a great thought -- thanks CC

I am considering the C1000 The Nemos would be great for the Summits

I am in Manhattan

Gordon, Tried but couldn't find Master Lu or the site you are referring to. CC

MotorToad, I did not know that these 2 brands paired up so often. I have seen the Martin Logans paired up w Krells and Levinsons but not McIntosh. Good to know. CC

I think the Halcros are great but a little too dry for my ears. I think that pairing it with a "warmer" speaker may work well but I am worried about the combo w the Statements. CC

Do you think that Jim would make a recommendation or will he be "politically correct" and say they will all work well... Will try him Monday. Thanks for the lead. CC

I am very intrigued by the ARC Ref 3 and the Ref 610 combo. CC

Rich, I agree w you that the XA is more liquid at the mids but I am afraid that I will run out of power. Sounds like you are happy with the 350.5x. I also agree with you on the Sanders -- I would rather stick with the X1000.5. CC

Interesting -- did not know that Dan has the Statements.. When you say polite, do you mean laid back in a negative sense or do you mean it in a positive sense? CC

Gordon, Good advice. I will try to contact him. How is your MC501 running with your Vantage? I would use the tubed McIntosh MC1000 preamp to match w the 2kws so in some ways our setup would be very similar. CC

Thanks Risabet. I think that the VTLs would be a good match. Question is whether anyone has used the VTLs, the AR, or the McIntosh tube amps or have compared them with any of the Martin Logans and what would be the difference. In an ideal world, I would demo all demo all 3 of these and the 4...

Hi. I am a new member. A contact from Audiogon suggested that I join this forum since I recently bought the Statement E2 and wanted advice on amplification. As you know, these speakers require a lot of current and its impedance dips down considerably. I have seen these speakers clip one of...
