I have heard both but never A/B and the integration is better with the electrostatic woofer..but the resolution from about 400hz is no different IMO.

There would be some big problems with the natural roll-off below the frequency set by the width of the panel if the panel was run full range...but I would certainly like to see if ML could lower the crossover frequency to less than 200hz.

I use the Bryston 14BSST with my CLS2Z and would only trade if I was going to the series 2...preferably the 28's

Impressive setup...I bought for first Martin Logans at Audible Elegance in Cincinnati (SL-3s !) before moving to Florida....I miss Blue Ash Chili.

Roberto...thank you for the comparison. As an owner of the CLSz2 I have been wondering about and considering the conceptual differences between these two designs and how the sonics might differ. After having both the SL3s and the CLS I feel the narrower high/mid frequecy panel versus...

I bought my CLSz2 from the (former) Sound Advice in Sarasota. I also got to hear the E2 Statements at an invite at that location....it was a good outfit...IMHO when they closed and Tempest Audio moved the high end died in our town.

I have a down firing ACI Saturn using an OAUDIO plate amp and AC-12 woofer( no longer available) in one corner and a Depth i in the other...the Saturn is cleaner and spreads the sound in a manner which makes it hard point out it's location ...the Depth points right to itself...if I were to start...

Wire and power cord threads always make you wonder why Martin Logan and other high end manufactuers sell their products complete with inadequate AC wire:rolleyes:

I concur...if possible you should try out the intended amp with YOUR speakers. I use a Bryston and though their amps do well with Maggies I was little concerned it might not work well with my CLSZ2...I was wrong...since you like the Hybrid LSA you may want to consider the tube preamp/ss amp...

I think you hit on it....sort of a CLX lite...I thought about this when I was comparing the Request to the Maggie 3.6 side by side. The bass/midbass was so much more defined and well integrated on the Maggie where the e-panel in the Request was much more transparent and seamless above about...

I agree ...the room and positioning and repositioning of your speaker is the largest variable in the sound of these speakers. I use my CLSz2 with a Bryston and love it but moving the speaker 2 inches this way or that changed the sound in significant ways...it was a much larger difference than a...

I use a Benchmark with my Squeezebox...very clean sound.

agree...IMHO it is the position of the woofer + the fact it (the panel due to width and resonance) has to be crossed above 150hz + the woofer is not a dipole leads to the incongruity most hear. THe Summit and Spire are still excellent and I have heard all the Maggies and none (again just my...

:D Thank you.

let us know his thoughts

not exactly replacements...but check out...www.justrealmusic.com

Maybe Justin or Dana Brown could give us a little insight into the sonics of the newer replacement panels. There is a thread on the Audiogon Forum about new CLS2 panels and some sonic improvements noted. It would be interesting if one of the engineer/designers of the CLX would "fess up" and tell...

Beautiful set-up...can you give us just a personal taste of the sonic differences of the CLS v. the Summits...no battle intended...just for fun:music:

as a former Cincinnati boy :bowdown: agree

I had the 17" Sunfire and sold it for the Bryston 14BSSt...sorry I heard the Pass compared to the Bryston 28 monoblocks...I'll stick with the Canadian with the 20 year warranty:music:
