    Hello from Seal Beach, CA.... New ESL13As on the way!...

    Hi Henryeng, I have GIK panels behind my speakers. I have the 244's, 242's and the corner traps. I would say yes you can have then directly on the wall. This is what I did and I have had no issues. In my old house they worked very well and took out the "echo" and reflectiveness of the room...

    Hello! 70 yo from Beaumont, CA

    Sure it figures. I lived in So Cal for over 50 years. Just retired and moved to Indiana to be closer to my daughter and granddaughter. Yes I am 70 as well and plan to listen more and enjoy!! I did go to one of the LA/OC Audio Society event many years ago. I recommend going at least once!

    Best speaker cable for CLS?

    I just double checked my cables on the CLSiiz and the Sequelii's and the Duelunds are NOT terminated with spades the are bare wire. The confusion is on the CLS's I also run the subs with another set of cables which are using spades from the CLS's as well. How is that for confusion? If you...

    Best speaker cable for CLS?

    Originally I was just doing bare wire but I felt a bit nervous. It works fine but I felt the exposure to the elements would eventually be of some concern. I am using gold spades now and not that expensive and they may actually be copper for all I know. Yes retirement was well earned with over...

    Best speaker cable for CLS?

    DanR, Yes I believe those are the cables. I also have some XLR interconnects as well. I waited to the maximum year for me to retire, 70, which was this year and retired to Indiana. Jeff

    Best speaker cable for CLS?

    If you do decided to try some Duelund I would be curious of what you think. I am happy with mine and was tired chasing the holy grail. When I moved 6 months ago and retired to the mid-west, I ordered some for my Sequel ii's as well. So far no problems. Jeff

    Best speaker cable for CLS?

    Just to throw a wrench in this cable discussion with CLS, I have used various Tara Labs cables with good results with my CLSiiZ and (bi-wire) Sequel ii's.. The one cable I settled on for both pairs and I am sure I am going to get some static are somewhat unconventional. All cables add, more or...

    23 years of building this

    Welcome back! My system has been building and changing over 20 years as well. I think I am close to being done because I am retired and the "extra' money is hard to come by. :) I too have the Pangea stands in I think they call it dark coffee. Looks like black but in the light you do see some...

    CLS strengths and weaknesses

    I have been driving my CLSiiZ's with a Pass Labs, X150.8. It is effortless. I had replaced a Conrad Johnson Premier 350 with the Pass Labs. The Pass Labs has much more control over the low end. The CJ had mid-range which was wonderful. I the CLS is an experiment in room placement, equipment...

    CLS Crossover

    I believe mine (CL:SiiZ) is set at 80 to 100. I don't remember exactly but it also depends on your room so experiment and see what "sounds" good to you. :)

    CLS help in Indianapolis

    Doug, Well, I am in California, but my kids have left long ago. It is just me and my dog so there is really nothing keeping me here. My daughter lives in in the Indianapolis suburbs. I have visited her and seems like a nice place to retire. I was raisied in the Mid-West so I am familiar. :)...

    CLS help in Indianapolis

    Doug, I have CLS iiZ's. These were originally IIA and upgraded. It was basically an electronics upgrade. I also have a RA-500 which I used to power my older Sequel ii's and it worked OK. It was not as good as I hoped but as you said it will work when your "main" amp is being repaired. Have you...

    Acoustical wall panels - any Pics or advise ?

    I too have GIK panels. They were great to work with when I had questions. I guess it depends on what you need for your room. I have had mine for over 10 years and except for the occasional dusting they just work. I actually covered two of them with my own my material I purchased. It has to...

    New Member - Hello from Des Moines, Iowa!

    Welcome! I am sure you will get a ton of suggestions on amps. It is all a matter of synergy with everything else you have at the moment. I have a pair of CLSiiZ's and my rears are Sequel ii's. I power the CLS with a Pass Labs 150.8 and the Sequels since they are rear speakers are power by a...

    BalancedForce placement question

    Mike, Sounds like you are doing OK. a rug will help with some reflection (bounce) off the floor. A non-symmetrical room is actuall a bit better than a perfect square or rectangle type of room, in my opinion. I actually have no "back" wall in my room because it leads to the kitchen. I too have...

    BalancedForce placement question

    Mike, I have an original Depth which has three 8"speakers instead of your two 10"s. I have place mine similar to yours about 8 feet from my "listening chair. It is in the middle of the wall on the right side. The left side is a sliding glass door! One of the tricks is to move it around until...
