Just another endorsement for Roger. I can't vouch for service, having never needed it, but it is the best SS amp that I've heard driving my CLS's.

Here’s Roger’s reply to that question. “ Turning directly to your question, understand that both my ESL and Magtech amps use the same special amplifier modules I designed to drive electrostatic speakers. The difference between the two is that ESL amps use a conventional, free-floating...

Another vote for the Sunfire here. I have to admit that I did sell my original Sunfire when I was young and full of it and trying anything and everything I could get my hands on. I now have a 2ch that works its way through my systems and does a great job handling my CLS's. I owned an XPA-2...

@Brad225 If I'm ever down visiting my sister in Naples, I'll give you a shout and bring it with me. I'd love to hear your system with solid state, though it'd be hard to top the current setup. @ML4Life That's what I initially thought, but was having a hard time picturing a CLS as a center...

@ML4Life I'm with you - just love these speakers. Question - what is LCR? Feeling like the luckiest guy on the planet at the moment. Just found a trade-in Magtech over on Roger's site. I was convinced that it had to be a mistake, as I have never, ever seen one for sale used. Called and...

@legarem When I originally purchased my pair of CLS IIz's from @Brad225, I was powering them with a pair of 60wpc Cary SixPacs. They sounded wonderful, but were underpowered at higher listening levels. I have since tried Hafler 33H, Audio Research VT200 and settled on Carver Crimson 350's...

Thank you, Justin, for relaying this decision here. It is very much welcomed and appreciated.

After hearing yours, how could you not? Still loving the CLS's.

Looking forward to it. Hope to see you there.

Welcome, Davet70. I'm in SC as well (upstate near Charlotte). Always interested in meeting fellow enthusiasts.

Are you completely powering them off? My CLS's stay powered on continuously. If I have to turn them off, I know it's going to be overnight before the panels are charged.

I have IIZ's and am currently driving mine with Carver 350's and love the results. I can testify to the difference interface tweaks make as I am still enjoying the fruits of the changes made by Brad's friend. I initially had them paired with a set of Cary SixPacs which sounded fantastic, but...

That forced perspective photo make that amp look HUGE! Nice gear - GLWS.

I don't have anything like that happening with my Descent i. Does anything look suspect on the board? They're known for failures . . .

Does anyone have a copy of the Sunfire white paper or a link to one?

With the recent price increase news, I'd guess a little over 3k. I purchased mine last year before the last price increase and they were just under 3k. Well worth the spend though, especially as ML has hinted at dropping support for some of the older models.

Brad, it's been a while, but I'm finally back. Still loving the CLS's! My wife calls them the step-children . . . :) Would you mind sending the schematic my way as well for my records?

Brad, Ha ha! I didn't have the heart to wake her when I got back. We unloaded first thing in the morning and are wrestling with placement at the moment. I know you're busy so . . . if you need someone to "help" you break in the CLX's, I'm only a short drive away:ROFL: Seriously, thank you...

Hi all. I am new to the forums here, but not to ML. I owned a pair of reQuests in the late 90's, and have been statless for over a decade until recently. Then, I saw Brad225's ad for his gorgeous CLSIIz's on Audiogon, and am happy once again! His link to the build thread for these was in the...
