Being a McIntosh guy this would be my choice. :clap:

I agree, listening late at night with the light out and staring into those big blue McIntosh eyes. Simply bliss! :cool:

Here are some that haven't been mentioned yet that I think are quite good. Santana -- Hymns for Peace Live at Montreux ZZ Top LIve from Texas Moody Blues -- Lovely to See You Yes Live at Montreux Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis

My pleasure Tom!

I certainly think so and Martin Logan does a lot of demo's using McIntosh gear. However, the only way you'll know for sure is to listen for yourself.

Congrat's on the new amp. It's one of McIntosh's most popular amps for a good reason. :rocker:

You can always switch to XRCD. IMHO, sounds better than SACD and plays in "all" players; however, it costs more and there are fewer titles unless you are really fond of Japanese music.

If possible I'd keep the center channel speaker along the same plane as the CLXs. Currently, my center is bolted to the wall so it's close to four feet from my Ascent's. As a result, the power needed by my center is significantly greater that my Ascents. During spirited listening it's not...

If I were to find an acceptable screen I'd certainly be willing to use 3 CLXs; however, I would prefer that ML develop one so that us consumers would have placement/screen options. :D

Rich: I agree with you. I think the Kindle use the correct technology for the right reason -- reading! I've read the Kindle for several hours non-stop with no more fatigue than reading a traditional book. Not to mention the detail it's capable of delivering. I wish I could a dual computer...

I agree I don't think I would go to a typical point source speaker either. For now I'm a pretty happy camper and moving in a different direction just doesn't make sense. Now if ML would just make a center channel to specifically match up with the CLX. :think:

That's an interesting question. Lets see if I can answer it without getting banned for life. :D To start and, lessen my chances of banishment, I think that the current used market for Summits puts them in a unique category where nothing can really touch them. Also, I think the CLX is priced at a...

Sorry, I missed the $5K limit. It will absolutely be greater than $5K -- probably closer to $10K.
