Until I saw and heard a pair I would have agreed that the photos of the CLX are not flatering.
Up close they look much better, more of a whole than in the the shots I've seen of them.
The curved panel doesn't seem so pronounced for some reason.
Then again I really stopped looking at them when they started to play music, from an all Ayre system featuring the top of the line pre, cd and MXR monos.
I have owned Sequels, CLS 11z, Quad 63 and stacked 57',s and I can tell you if that is what you feel a stat should sound like, then the CLX will disappoint you.
These are not warm, rolled off romantic sounding speakers.
They are the best stats Martin Logan has made in my opinion and that includes a brief listening of the Statements.
They are in a select handful of speakers that I would buy if I had the funds,the others costing twice as much or more.
