Martin Logan CLS setup


I recently obtained a pair od Martin Logan CLS IIs and just wonder if you guys could get me some pointers on setting them up for optimum performance. My room is about 22' X 26' with a very high cathedral ceiling about 20 feet at the peak. The front wall where the speakers will be has a fireplace in between the speakers with a window on each side of it. Behind the listening chair is open into the kitchen and rest on the house. Any advice on distance from back and side wall etc room treatment??

With the cls1 which were more demanding than than yours,I used a spectral amp 60 watts/vintage 1985 with a arc sp9 preamp. I had a large Mac and they nearly blew the speakers apart, that I previouslyhad used with OHM f's . If they are working leave them alone. Although I admit , mine rattled when i played organ music and maybe a subwoofer will add duration. I assume they are 25 years old by now.
Correction: It wasn't the Sp 9 I had but the arc Sp 6. and had a tough time match it with the Spectral. No way you need hundred of watts....however. I never used a a subwoofer, however.....
