    New ML Owner. CLS II's re-paneled and brought up to spec.

    Very well. Sounds awesome. Still unsure what the 2nd set of terminals is for. Hopefully ML can shed some light there this week. If not I'll take some pics of electronics etc and start another thread specific to that. My bet is ML will help. They seem willing, this just all happened right...

    Hi there

    Here is what was sent to me by ML. Look for a FAQ on their website. Sounds scary to me to vacuum speakers but guys even take them in the shower lol. But it seems to be (vacuum at least) a recommended periodic maintenance. Maybe your speakers have never been cleaned? How do I vacuum my...

    Hi there

    If you have them already and you like them then that's a plus. If you are hearing good sound with no pops or anomalies that is great. How they sound could be related to system synergy and be anything from cables to amp. However they may be dirty from dust accumulated etc.? Martin Logan has...

    Hi there

    I'm not sure what you mean by the grills bring "lower". However some deterioration in grill covers and particular matter in the panel after all these years is normal but not good. This forum has multiple threads on panel cleaning and maintenance. It's a risk to buy any speaker this old. I...

    Which Amp to buy? The most frequently asked question on this site. READ THIS!!

    I heard the same thing in respect to don't get the separates. I was directed at the X3/X5. And what also helped is the description of the amp which reads in part " even under the most extreme loading conditions". Also I got 60 day return policy. I mean nothing is guaranteed. I have a buddy...

    Hi there

    Welcome. Years ago I had Request speakers. Then a ton of box speakers, now back to ML. The Request speakers/system was one of the most fun type systems I ever owned. Great at rock and most anything you threw at it. I paired them with Bryston at the time. 4B I think. Best of luck and happy...

    Which Amp to buy? The most frequently asked question on this site. READ THIS!!

    My buddy at TMR got me researching it. They make a X3 as well which would probably do the trick. But the X5 is beast... The Michi X5 Integrated Amplifier is Performance Redefined packaged in an exquisite industrial design delivering an astounding 600 Watts of Class AB power into 4 ohm...

    PS Audio M700s vs Simaudio Moon 330A?

    I have had about every product PSA makes. Overall it is good stuff. IMHO if you can switch the 700s for a high quality A/B, then do it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Mark Levinson Opinon?

    I love the 585. I would suspect that the 5805 would do well too. As for vintage, it's kinda a crap shoot but even the older stuff (much like Mac) packs a punch. Now it's really just a Harmon amp but still well made. Music Direct sells B stock Levinson- same warranty if you can swing that.

    Primaluna evo300 with esl

    Does not the ML site state they recommend 100-200 wpc min for stat speakers? This amp is probably clipping or just does not have the guts to handle the load. I may be bias though. I had a Primaluna and it was nothing but trouble. It went back and that was my last one. Quite a few years ago...

    One amp I am really like right now that drives the CLS with no issues is the Michi X5. Look that one up if your curious. It pretty affordable too. 350 into 8 and 600 into 4. Another is the Dag Progression integrated but for a fraction of the cost, the Michi does it all and has digital AKM 728.

    Hello Everyone

    Yes. I had Nick pull them off the site and called ML. Then got the low down on the units and how they tested etc. Now they are in the house! Thanks. !!

    Thank you. My original crossover looks like 1990 and panels 2001.

    The white writing seems to be factory standard. It says " high frequency softening" and while directly below the Mod terminals, I believe it refers to the soft/flat rocker switch that is below the verbiage. The added terminals seem to have no description. Mine looks like this one but with an...

    The only other thing I can think of after trying both terminal separate is that somehow one set is LF and the other is HF. And I don't even know if that's possible. But it seems the best sound is with jumpers. Everyone have a great 4th. Thanks everyone for chiming in......

    Brad225- I'm not sure what you mean by the pic but I'll try below. Brandon- I bet you could be right. I have looked at pics of other units and the "Freq softening" verbiage is there along with the rocker (flat/soft) switch. That means those extra terminals are just out there. Now the reason I...

    New ML Owner. CLS II's re-paneled and brought up to spec.

    My guess is I have a lot to learn about these speakers. Maybe a CLS II with Z panels? Then we got 4 terminals on the back and I was told upgraded crossovers. All by Joe. probably a while ago. Be interesting to see what ML comes up with. They sound darn good though. I listened earlier on...

    New ML Owner. CLS II's re-paneled and brought up to spec.

    Congratulations and welcome to the crowd here. I think considering everything that has been changed you will need to get the accurate information from ML. 100% agreed and thank you! Which box seys Z? I owned CLS II, IIA and IIZ. On the IIIZ had the CLS IIIZ on the back of the interface...
