| Best amplifier for CLX Hi Andrew,Agree that to optimize full range ESL best is still to use high power tube amps..Back in '80s, was pretty pleased driving my CLSsI & II with VTL300+Ultimate and/or ARC Classic150+SP11. A buddy now has CLX augmented by a pair of Desce... | |
| Franco Serblin R.I.P. What happens to Ktema? But why would one wants to pair supposedly 'bright' speakers with 'dry' sounding amps which will most certainly exacerbate the problem? | |

| Nordost Valhalla 2 announced I've been playing with cables, following each marked incarnation with great interest eversince early 80's. Cardas, MIT, TaraLabs, Siltech amongst others were literally just born then. Hundreds if not more varieties have come visit or stayed in my ... | |

| Power cables for ARC Reference 75 SP8, SP10/mkII, SP11mkII, REF 3, REF 5/SED115, Classic 150, M 300, REF 600/mkIII, REF 150Perhaps not all, but those I've owned in the past (as listed since early '80s-current) use 20A connectors. It puzzles me even more if they are inconsistent in... | |
| Power cables for ARC Reference 75 I believe ARCs are using ever since ~ to date, 20A connectors on all their equipments. |
