I have a pair of SL3. Shipping the panels was about $150 to $200 airfreight. Unfortunately, I also have a pair of used CLS IIz that I was going to buy new panels for, but for now I am not spending anymore on speakers.. May be in the future I will be able to fix the CLS IIz with some "magic...

I bought mine used 21 years ago. I replaced the panels last year, shipped them to Tanzania at $2800 + shipping! Very happy, though costly.

I posted this below on another thread, but applies here equally: Here in Tanzania, it is 240V 50Hz. I have been living with my USA Martin Logan SL3 since 2005, which now have new panels (bought in 2021). Initially, I used a voltage stepdown and the speakers will only turn on for 10 seconds...

Let me share my experience... Here in Tanzania, it is 240V 50Hz. I have been living with my USA Martin Logan SL3 since 2005, which now have new panels (bought in 2021). Initially, I used a voltage stepdown and the speakers will only turn on for 10 seconds. That is, 240v to 120v without changing...

Wow! Thank was cheap. ML is really hating those who are keeping the old cars going...

Thanks. Actually, more than 3 months. They told me it will be 14 to16 week lead time! I don't mind waiting, though...

Thank you all. I have placed and an order for new panels!

Thanks so much for the inputs guys and girls'! My head has become clear now. More suggestions, please...

Thanks guys for your inputs. I may have not made myself clear; the SL3 are not in this equation at the moment. My focus is on what to do with the CLS IIz. So the question was/is; should I buy new CLS panels or take $3000 (which is the cost of the CLS panels) and buy another pair of ML speakers...

It has been awhile... 5 years ago, I bought a pair of CLS IIz with dead panels, but never got to work on them cause my SL3 were working fine. However, the SL3 panels have also gone south, so I want to recurrent the CLSs. The question is, should I buy new CLS panels or just opt for a used pair of...

Hi Bernie, Any good news? I have just bought a set of CLS II, so I am trying to learn everything CLS...

I have noticed from Internet pics that the input voltage for the US model CLS is labeled 110v 50~60hz. Such is not the case with my SL3, which are labeled as 110v, 60hz input, and could not deal with the 50hz untill I replaced modules (as per Jim Power). If the CLS's power input is 110v...

Thank you much for the details... I am still concerned with the frequency differences. You see, with my SL3, I initially used a step-down converter to take care of the voltage issue. The speakers would fire up then shutdown in about 10 seconds, similar to when they go to sleep mode when there is...

Thanks for the input. I am now convinced on the CLS upgrade path. The other challenge I will face is getting the elctronics that work on a 220v /50 Hz power. Without this specs the stats will not stay charged. I was told by ML customer service that they do not have the 50Hz modules anymore, but...

Thanks for the input.... Still I would like to hear from someone who has an experience in building a new frame for the CLS, and whether all I would need to build my own CLS is to get just the panels and the electronics, and them mount them to a custom frame. What are the challenges? Also, I...

Thanks for the input. I am intrigued on the siz by the panel size of the CLS and it being a full range. I think these will give me a better ability to properly match it to my bag-end. Here is the question… Would you consider the models you have mentioned to be better than the CLS II on sound...

Following up with the cost of this build, I received a quotation of $2800 for new CLS panels. I find that a little too high compare to a pair of panels of SL3 - $1300! Has anybody got a similar quotation lately? Thanks

Hi MLOs, I am interested in stepping onto the CLS. Given how old the CLS are, I would need to replace the panels sooner than letter. I will also have to buy new electronics to make the speakers work on 220v / 50HZ outlet here in Tanzania. This is what I had to do to my SL3. Since these two...

By the way, part of the reason I went with the Line 3 and not a line 2 or a BAT is because I rediscovered an old post on which one a guy did a blind A/B test between the Arogon 8008BB and the Mark Levinson No33H monoblocks ($19,950). On that test the was no clear winner. That was why I bought...

True that. I need to do some research...
