dont waste your money, just waiT till the ML's arrive. I have recently sold a pair of ML CLSIIz to upgrade to the Sound Lab A-3's. I liked the ML's very much. I have been into electrostatics since i owned the KLH-9's from the late '60's. I think the ML CLS's are the best sounding electostatics for the money when spending approx 4k.That's my opinion.
