Speaker cables for CLS For a long time I had Cardas speaker cables for my CLS I's. Then NBS, which had fantastic width and solid bass. Right now I am using Crystal Cable. Granted with the Crystal Cable the bass is lighter, but to my ears they are more solid sounding with excellent details...

Cls I These are definitely CLS I's with CLS I panels. CLS II panels do not work with CLS I electronics from what I remembered, this is why when one orders replacement panels ML always ask for I or II panels. CLS II panels are easy to spot -- if you look at the space between the two vertical...

Hi Joey, Even though it might not be appropriate to say this here, but let me just say that if I can only keep ONE component in my system, it will be the Hovland. I've toyed with the idea of replacing Linn, the Rowland monoblocks, CLS, but not the Hovland my friend. To me it has a fantastic...

Hello Neil, Very nice system!!! Love that Goldmund/SME V combo!!! The 101E is an intriging pair of speakers, and they are also my wife's favorite. Even though I am happy with the CLS's right now, once in awhile I still think about getting a pair of these. I also noticed that you have an...

Hi Sparky, Don't know if I am considered a rare breed, but I am sticking with my CLS I's. After I bought mine 19 years ago I have listened to every upgrades since (II, IIa, IIz), and believed that even though the bass has improved (but still cannot be considered full-range and subwoofers are...

Hanging tube traps from the ceiling Hi Robin, yes I totally agree with you. When I heard and learned more about this product the more I thought the concept made sense. The biggest drawback is that one needs to experienment with the final location and height of the trap, and whomever thought...

Hi Robin, I tried 7 room acoustic products in my room, and the only ones that worked for me were the Corner Busters and the tube traps you see beside the CLS. These were made by a German company and marketed in Taiwan under "G+H" name. I can't find more info on the Net, but if you've seen the...

Hi Twitch 54, The Linn/Clearaudio is no doubt a dream. The Insider Wood replaced a Helikon, and even though I slightly prefer the bass and three-dimensionality of Helikon to Insider Wood, but Insider Wood sounded much quicker and open. By comparison Helikon sounded too polite and reserved...

Hi Lugano, the 2 vertical parts of the panel on CLS 1 are equal in size. The difference in the picture is due to the slight toe-in of the setup.

Hi, too bad I will be traveling in the US when you visit Taipei this time. Be sure to let me know again when you are visiting.

Hi there, I originally bought the Rowland 501's to replace Rowland 2/BPS 2 for the Avalons (great synergy there no doubt). When I hook up the CLS's again I was skeptical at first because I didn't know whether the 501's can handle the harsh impedence load. First thing I noticed with the combo...
