I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW


WOW. Amazing.. Spectacular. Astonishing.

Can't say enough good things about them... I spent the entire day last Saturday at ML headquarters in Lawrence, KS in their listening room. Me and my CDs with the doors closed for 8 hours!!

I've written a full review on the ML Club website.

Another review of the CLX

Reportedly the absolute sound review is released.
It is my experience that Martin Logan chooses an amp for it's ability to handle it's wicked impedance curve rather than how it sounds. No offense intended but I never thought Krell was a good match.
I have never heard the combo but they also think Mcintosh is a good match. I would prefer a deuce of moscode 401hr running in mono.
I'll say it one more. The speaker is what it is. Subs have always been in order for the CLS. xover at 360hz means not only is the CLX not a full range design it is probably a three way design.

We all know that Tom is biased. he founded the M/L sight because of his love for the speaker. He is like the guy waiting for the next star wars movie. Further more being invited to the M/L factory for a full day to hear a new speaker had to have effect on him. it's the same if Speilburg invited a trekkie for a private screening.
Nevertheless a true trekkie would call it like he sees it. I believe at least that Tom liked the speaker. Time will tell if the bloom fades off the rose.
That's the beauty of not having much money. By the time I have saved up enough money to buy, others have fully vetted the product.
Tom, I think we disagree on only one point.

"I'm not into the hobby that deep..." Having your own website dedicated to Martin Logan and having visited the Martin Logan factory at least twice you are in very deep my friend. You're president of the Martin Logan fan club

p.s. I thought it was Speilberg who did the story line and Lucas who handled the technical stuff. "My bad." I'm not a trekie
Tom I see a CLX in both our futures. 25th anniversary issue with amp and source of our choosing. Invest in alternative energy sources.
I think Apogee my be trying to pull a Phoenix. I think they lost a patent infringement suit to Magnepan.
At least they were a fun company. The Scintilla has kind of a cult following.
