I believe Gayle Sanders, the head of ML, uses Krell gear and demos with Krell gear--at least he used too.
I ran ML Prodigy and Aeon speakers at different times with various surrounds/centers, and always liked the sound of the stats with ARC tube gear. Stats like tubes... There is a complex explanation somewhere here on the 'gon about voltage/current differences between tube and solid state amps, and the conclusion that tubes mate well with stats and solid state mates well with conventional drivers. Not universal, obviously, but I liked the tube/stat combination a lot, especially for music with an emphasis on the human voice.
Little edit:
Try this thread, has some good information in it, and the CLS is one of the planars discussed...
