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 .

With all due respect to the previous reviewer I would like to disagree with him on few issues. First of all ML CLS speaker is excellent for the classical music (I will not go into details why). Lower end is not the deepest – it’s a known fact. Many CLS owners add subwoofers to the speakers. In my opinion Krell amplification is the culprit in his particular set-up. With good tube amplification (I use VAC Renaissance 70/70) ML CLS speaker is one of the best sounding speakers you could find…
