I have tried these speakers the CLS IIz versions with Bryston monoblocks, B&K monoblocks and an older Krell amp in a fairly large size room and I could not get them to sound dynamic in fact the amps started to clip. They drop down to 1.5 ohms. You can't beat them for their clarity and speed.
will m-l cls' electrostatics ROCK???
i'm considering martin-logan cls' but even m-l sez they won't go loud enuff in my 22x38 room, even when used w/my vmps larger subs. i listen to electric as well as acoustic music, so they must be able to get LOUD. m-l sez 93db is as loud as they'll get, even when crossed over to my subs at 50-60hz. any comments?

Sedond, I may be able to help you. InnerSound makes a very powerful electrostatic-optimized amp that will seriously drive the CLS's, and Inner Sound speakers are among several viable options. I will honestly discuss tradeoffs with you - I have experience with quite a few planars and electrostats. E-mail me at [email protected]. |
Your CLS's would rock big time, especially in your huge room, with a pair of Kinergetic SW800 subs- designed to go with CLS's- thats 5 x 10" woofers per side. I have a pair for sale, give me an e-mail if you are interested or have any questions. [email protected] |
