I would love to hear the Magnepan setup you describe. I have stacked Theaters on a Sound Anchors stand because I wanted more panel, but this seems like a much better idea. My dream is to have two pair of clx or Sound Labs as fronts someday.

If you run out of options, you may be surprised when you experiment using those Prodigies for side speakers and forsaking any rears. All that panel in the front will really make your HT immersive and the subs within the Prodigies may help the CLX mains. I don't miss my rears that much and I...

A square room is really difficult with low notes because of room nodes and 13x13 is small for a clsIIz to begin with. You will be very happy with DSP such as the Velodyne SMS1 to eliminate problems at the listening seat. I like any version of the Descent but with DSP, you will be happy with...

Hi Jeff, I like the layout and it seems so dialed in. I have trouble seeing how far away the front wall is. Can you give some dimensions? I am especially interested in the depth to the front wall and the relative front edge of your electronic’s stand to the back of your speakers. Regards Duke

I hope this comes in time to help. I had similar problems with both brand new and used clsIIz panels. I replaced a used panel with the problem and the new panel had the same problem. The new panel was due to my error during installation. My friend and helper noticed a tiny blue spark at the...

Tim has documented the following most important mods for the clsIIz speaker. Thanks go to Tim for doing the work using his specialized electronics skills. He is a gifted enthusiast and a great resource. Thanks go to Brad225 for supplying the schematics. Here is the step by step instruction...

Dear Tom, would you leave this post in the main discussion forum for a little while? Since you're from Madison, I'll cut you some slack. :o I've re-directed to the Tweaks forum with a 3 month re-direct. - Tom. Tim has documented the following most important mods for the clsIIz speaker...

Hi Dan, I had the large Bybees for several years now without a problem. There are four per speaker. They brought a change to the sound that was instantly noticeable. It is a matter of personal preference, but since I have a great friend and helper willing to use his Metcal soldering gun, I...

Hi Brad, I want to thank you for sending the schematics my way. The first pair of speakers were done today. In the next few weeks, I intend to photograph the second pair regarding installation of the Goertz inductor, bypass of the soft in the back installation of the Bybee mods using large...

If you decouple from the floor, try Aurios 1.2 or the Aurios Pro. They have a tiny dimple in the top that is a perfect match for the Descent's spikes. When I have used the Aurios on top of Symposium, the bass really tightened up but I had to turn the volume of the subs way up. I have carpet...

I have pretty tweaked out electricity. The speakers are hooked up to dedicated lines and they emanate through this chain typed below. I really believe that this is where you start if you want to go with power cords. Start with dedicated lines. I can A/B against the common 15A receptacles...

I use the Krell 350-mcx with hi fi tuning fuses. Dedicated circuits for each monoblock. That made a big difference in removing the thinness of the panels. The speakers use Sosna Emotion power cords and Valhalla speaker wires to keep that fast panel blazing fast. Panels are shunted at 50Hz...

Hi Brad, Thank you so much for sending the schematics. I am finally about to have the boxes modified. There aren't a whole lot of parts in there. I have to open up the boxes to field verify the parts, but based upon the schematic, my helper has picked out a part likely to be replaced. The...

Thank you! I will send my request to you. Thanks! Do you have anything on the Theater and Theater I? I own both and they are stacked on a Sound Anchors stand.

Hi Brad, Is it possible to get a higher resolution of those schematics? I cannot read them.

I really appreciate the messages. I was concerned with approaching Martin Logan now that I read Jim is retired. I was reluctant. I correctly thought that this forum would set me straight. Thank you everyone who posted! I purchased my speakers used and as a matter of course, I ordered new...

I was hoping someone could tell me if panels are still available and what they paid. I have two pair. In addition, I have two pair of panels that were replaced. If I were to ship the used panels to ML, does that help pricing or time lag? Thanks in advance for your help. In addition, does...

I have a wonderful family that lets me use the living room for my stereo. I play it a few hours a week if I can.

I made a platform to hide the wire runs and to make the seating position accommodate the tall Billy Bags pro stand. The clsIIz speakers are elevated to suit the seating position. The platform can be moved, but is done very slowly with six helpers.

Hi Dan Osib, Thanks to you and HBrandt, I changed out the speaker wire to Au 24 and did the large Bybee mods on both the power and stator end of the speaker. I considered not having any wire, but I could not figure out how to terminate my Valhalla speaker wires to the board. Do you know off...
