Martin Logan CLX ART


So there may be an opportunity to change speakers. Won't know for sure till tomorrow.

One option might be a pair of CLX ART. From the reading I have done it shows a remarkably detailed and transparent speaker. What does not get discussed is its ability to present dynamic attach, and how it responds when aske to play dynamically challenging music like electric blues, big band, or plain old rock and roll. I do use a pair of Velodyne HGS 12 subwoofers and the pre amp has a DSP program to deal with room interactions and speaker integration.

Anyone have any observations or experiences?

@johnk  Oh I could use a secondary set of speakers like some Energy to play that kind of music whenever the mood takes me. 90%+ of my listening is not that kind of music anymore. 

Well yesterday I helped a fellow load the JBL 4365 in his SUV and he left a pile of money with me. So it is time to look for speakers. 

 

Was hoping to get an idea of how the CLX handle large scale music, electric blues, and that sort of thing. I think every review I have come across states they are detailed, transparent, very natural in the bass within their scope of 50 Hz or so, but no one talks about their ability to convey energy...which can be a limiting factor in smaller panel speakers. But these are big panels. So I was hoping to hear from listeners or owners of the CLX ART. 

Well shipping from Tennesse to Washington isn't as bad as I thought it would be. So this looks like a done deal, i am committed in principle. Just have to finish payment and they will get packed this weekend and loaded up at the beginning of next week. 

I have a pair of Velodyne HGS12 I have planned on using with them. Sealed box servo feedback design. 

Paid for the speakers today. Getting shipped out beginning of next week. Another chapter in the audio system and the realization of a dream of owning electrostatic that first began when I was in my early twenties.
