I agree with Docknow. The CLS is like a vintage car- it's very cool, sounds actually really good, but will need TLC. Save yourself the time showering, etc. They will need new panels regardless. I have a pair of CLS II that I have for sale but have no problem keeping them if they don't...

Welcome- let us know how it goes!

I don't believe you can manipulate the bass through ARC. I leave the ARC on and manually add the bass as needed. Enjoy

I give a little spin to the platter before starting the motor...no squeal.

I have 11A's over a year now and very happy with them. It took 3 months for them to settle in. They are much less demanding power wise and have detail to spare. I've used an MFA D75, VTL MB 250's and currently Macintosh MC1502. I have found placement to be a key factor in changing...

CLSII in Walnut with hard to find Arcici stands. New panels from ML ($2995) replaced March 2021. Interface boxes original. Phenomenal sounding by themselves but naturally bass shy. Need serious power for these speakers and your amp should double output and start at min 200 watts...

Not sure what you mean by gritty-? distortion. New panels will sound thin, tizzy, and "not right" for 90-120 hrs. There is a definite break in period,-your results may vary. But you will be rewarded.

Thanks! Thoroughly enjoying it past few months. I am exploring my vinyl collection again and hearing greater disparities in recordings (good and bad). This TT is definitely a keeper!

Welcome! Glad it worked and you are back in action. Enjoy!

Welcome! I'm sure you are in for a treat. ML is quite a different presentation than the Quads. Tell us what you are running upstream? Enjoy!

Hola Roberto! Great to hear from you and hope all is well.

The MA352 looks really nice and should sound great. I am using an MC1502 and I am very happy with it. Also the ML will sound harsh out of the box and takes about 2-3 months to settle in.

Welcome! The ESL 11A is a wonderful speaker. Glad you are enjoying them. Please let the group know what equipment you are using upstream as this is equally important to getting the most out of these speakers. As always, don't forget placement, placement...Enjoy!

My experience - CLS II repanel in Feb. alternating with ESL 11A. The 11A is better in terms of detail and of course no need to play with subs. More than adequate bass for me. That being said they are the coolest speakers on earth. Agree with Dave, I am now going to work on the...

Alan Parsons Project I Robot beautifully crafted love the opening track.

Michael Franks "Tiger in the Rain" When It's Over Flora Purim on background vocals via the VPI Prime Signature- sublime.

Something went horribly wrong...you have become the Invisible Man! Amazing rig.

That is really helpful. I will try to find the thread. I have an EE friend who saved my VTL's and I eventually sold them to him. If there was a roadmap I could see if he would be interested in doing this. I swap the 11A's and the CLS. I was going to sell the CLS but I just can't bring...

On the CLS II theme... Do you recommend updating/refurbishing the electronics and what needs to be done? I have a pair of CLS II w/ new panels but nothing done to the electronics. They sound good to me but could they be better??

Welcome. They will take some time to beak in. Enjoy!
