Ah! Finally found the perfect power amp to drive ststs. This one can handle very difficult loads.....look out! Woofty woof'n, RJ

Haaa! Funny that 😄 Yes, the Dartzeel pricing is over the top but that's the case with anything from the Swiss; Solution, CH Precision, Goldmun, even those new ribbons by Clarisys, damn expensive solely because it's backed by a Swiss parent company, even though made in Vietnam. I've had the...

It's like that Dartzeel MK2 that I've had my eye on for a while. Then I brought home the Mk1 version and it handled the CLX's quite well. After about a year, the MK2 came to Aus, and that very same Mk1 was on sale at a special price. The distributors for Dartzeel in Aus called me straight away...

G'day B-H, hope all is well at your end of the woods. Just wondering how did that JR amp go? Did you finally get it and now powering away...? Cheers, RJ

Ah! Yes that's correct. In fact I should have known that since I did previously own both the CLSIIz's and SL3's. Must have slipped my mind since owning so many Maggie's and Quads after that. Fast fwd to nearly 20yrs after, and only in 2018 I ventured back towards ML stats. Thanks for the info &...

Yes, dust can always be a major issue and whatever you try to do, it's always floating around. I guess this is the reason why Quad ESL's have dust covers followed by further adding a layer of fabric over those covers. Talk about dust covers! The only major downside to this concept is the lack of...

Just to quickly address the above two posts, as I don't want to derail this thread. After all, this is about Chris's new love and his enjoyment of the CLX's or at least I'm hoping he's going to enjoy them... Three Room issues: 1. Not wide enough, and not adequate space from front wall to...

The very last pair here (Aus Down unda) sold in Melbourne for 50grand! $AUD. That particular owner also had other top flight panel type speakers, such as Maggie 20.7's and Audio Analysis Omega's. Once he got the CLX's, he sold off the others straight away. Then, there's a good mate of mine who...

Hooray!!! Well done matey. Looks fab! Yeah, white looks quite exquisite, very unique. Plenty of space there, really good placement for CLX's, and these are large stats, they need room to breathe and be able to propel its sheer power. As I said before, these are high performance speakers, truly...

Ah! I was thinking more or less the same thing. Just get the fronts done in Black if you prefer that color, and don't worry about the back. Although the white is very unusual and unique, must be quite interesting when up close. I once had Maggie's, MG3.3 full white trims with a grey fabric. It...

Oh! White gloss... very exquisite. Cheers and enjoy those fine tunes! RJ

Oh yeah...!!! Nice one Chris mate, you'll be pleasantly rewarded! Funny one that, I've previously owned exactly those other speakers as well. Including Maggie's (many many Maggie's), Quads, Apogee's and the CLSIIz's and SL3's. The CLX's are on another level, there's no comparison at this...

In fact, I've got an interesting observation. With Maggie's and Apogee's, this wasn't an issue because back then we didn't have kitties, only doggies. They weren't bothered at all and it's much easier to train them. Whereas kitties can be a pain in the ***, although very cute. Many owners whom...

Correct! That may have also been the contributing factor to the multiple panel failures I had with Quads, once switched on, they remained powered. They didn't have the auto-cut out circuit of ML's when a signal is not applied. I think this is a very clever way to safe guard Stats, and ML has...

Nice to have a basement, plenty of storage space there. However, I'm scared of basements... might find the boogieman! Cheers, RJ

The Montis are mighty fine! If looked after well, they should last a lifetime. I had them in our earlier apartment/ unit in Melb city. Whenever not in use, they were always covered, as is the case even now with my CLX's due to curious kitties. They've learned not to touch! Plus their fine hairs...

Former home town was Colombo. I owned nearly every Maggie model except for the MG30.7's. Also owned several Quad ESL's (ESL63, 2805, 2905 & 2912). The latter Quad models were based in Melbourne after migrating from Colombo. Also had the ML CLSIIZ's and SL3's plus Apogee Diva's. Colombo weather...

Nice one! Certainly sounds like the legend himself is still going. After all, JR knows his stuff, and there are only a handful of such minds & talent left. The new guys... well can't comment unless they've been with the company for few decades to learn this stuff. In which case, doesn't really...

Nice one matey! The JR Model 2 is very well designed to handle difficult loads. Solid power supplies, and can cope with the impedence swing of Stats, no issues. Not only design and build quality but also a high level of musicality. I really like JR's earlier gear, and his Class A/ AB designed...

The AG Trio Classico, this is the one he had. Damn, this thing is one of those speaker systems that effortlessly transports you to the live event. Or should I say, transports the live event into your room, provided you've got a huge room. These things require massive space, and with the right...
