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.

bass is a bit limited, eh ? if this is the case, the presentation should be highly resolving.

by chance is the spectral balance tipped toward the treble ?
hi tom:

i visited the martin logan website. the frequency response of the spealers is indicated as down 3 db at 56 hz.

i would say such a frequency response would be presented as somewhat lean, since the speaker is not flat to 60 hz.

i haven't auditioned the speakers myself, so i can't judge. however, the specs seem to indicate the speaker is bass-challenged. by the way, i did read your review.

the solid state components used to demo the speaker would not be my first chice, and with my experience at ces shows and auditioning speakers at other venues, i would suspect that what you heard could hardly be described as warm sounding or full-bodied. then again, as i said, i haven't heard this speaker, although i have heard many logan models in the past (my friend has the quest z speakers).

i prefer tubes and panels.mrtennis
hi lloyd:

if you were selecting a speaker and had 2 on your list, namely, the clx and the magnepan 20.1, which would you select, and why ?
if you would consider a speaker the size of the 20.1, also consider the apogee duetta signature.
