Meta didnt you notice the Audio Research vt100mk3 tube amp .still the cls2z is a nice speaker dont get me wrong and also I am not a head banger .Tried many amp preamp combinations and rooms ,also helped my friend set up his 2 pair, so its not like I have no experance with logans .I have been a owner for 12 years many models .And all logans have the same sound and problems witch you mention about amps very picky and placement.Compared to the sound I have been getting out of my tube s.e.t. amps and horns, makes the logans sound so unmusical though they are still better than most designs at this . I am not alone in this opinion most of my audio buddies are ex logan owners including the owner of the local dealer .I realy did love my cls2zs but after hearing sets and sensitive speakers , I am glad they are gone.,just my opinion .Johnk
Review: Martin Logan CLS IIZ Speaker
Category: Speakers
Cls 2z is one of matin logans better old designs,They have a great midrange but are very weak in the frequincy extremes.The are very picky about amps, cables ,room placement so maybe not a good speaker for a beginer.But when set up right they will give you a great performance.relaxing sound .But not a lot of dynamics good for rock or simple music ,falls apart on classical .Has trouble.With busy music .Over all a good speaker for the cash used .My friend has 2 pair in a home theater set up .If you can deal with the size they work great in that aplication .Nice speaker but the new logans are a bit better .
