You have received some valuable and informative advice from members on this forum. I can add my 2 cents... I have the CLS 1a version. I purchased them approximately 11 years ago with brand new panels for 1300.00. Back then replacement panels were reasonable. I was lucky enough to get a spare...

Wow... I have been away for awhile and was catching up on some of the posts.. I felt some remorse after rushing to purchase an extra pair of panels for my CLS1's @1500.00 when I thought support was going to end. They have been sitting in their shipping boxes for over a year now... I guess it...

I have the CLS1 version with new panels (and also a spare set boxed that I ordered prior to the announcement the ML would support the speaker "forever") using a McIntosh 2200 Tube Preamp and MC275IV with Gold Lion Reissue tubes and Telefunken signal tubes in both the preamp and amp. To my ears...

Twich, In my system I experienced the exact opposite. I had rolled off highs when I connected my MC275 to the 4 ohm posts vs 8 ohms... weird... Rich

Dan, I don't believe there is one correct answer as each Martin Logan speaker varies with impedance and frequency response and each McIntosh amplifier has its own sound signature. I have a pair of CLS's and when I power them with the MC275 tube amp the 8 ohm taps sound the best but when I...

Yes the meters definitely are quick enough, there is also a "peak hold" setting which will keep the meter at the highest point until another peak higher is established. They are very responsive and it is amazing to see the power jump 5 fold+for peaks reinforcing the exponential power needed to...

Amey01 is right concerning output in most conditions... rarely over 10 watts... but power will rapidly increase exponentially as you increase volume. If inquiring minds must know get a McIntosh Amp and they can read it right off the faceplate meter. :)

According to a previous discussion on this forum the CLS 1 does have a power sensing circuitry. http://www.martinloganowners.com/~tdacquis/forum/showthread.php?t=10823&page=2 I do remember discussing this with Jim Power previously and he didn't seem to be concerned with leaving them plugged...

Spring cleaning, and want to finally take care of the spaghetti mess of wires in my system. What are you using that makes a neat wire cable bundles but still allows access to inputs etc. Any one using the racks that spin 180 degrees to allow easy connections?

I have a pair of the original CLS 1 speakers that have panels that were replaced about 3 years ago. They are of the newer design and I have also ordered a backup set just this month after ML notified us of discontinuing support for the CLS1. Originally i powered them with a Krell KSA250 and KBL...

Dana from ML responded to my question and did confirm that CLS1 electronics cannot be modified to work with CLS II panels. I was also concerned with the failure rate of the CLSI electronics, especially if I planned to store a spare set of panels to be used years down the road. He seemed...

With the end of support for the CLS1 panels, I was wondering what it would take to make the CLS1 electronics compatible with the CLSII panels. Anyone hear of users making this modification or of CLSII panels with CLS1 electronics working?

You can go one step further and eliminate the sonos z-90 but that would entail you getting a different DAC. The PS Audio PWD DAC with the optional bridge will take a feed directly from a NAS and makes a huge difference. You can also run the DAC directly into the 275 via balanced or single ended...

These are the power supplies and electronics to run the CLS speakers, a necessity. Rarely have I seen just the "black boxes" for sale or separated from the speakers. Good luck in your search.

Sell the Ascents and get a pair of CLS's. I had a pair of Quests and went through 3 amplifiers and preamps as well as CD players and a Descent sub and the most impressive difference for me was going to the CLS's.

Jeff, I know that this is your job but the amount of time listening is amazing, that shows true devotion, or you just love what you do. What a lucky guy.

I find it harder and harder to just concentrate and take the time to just sit and listen to my system. I find I will start to browse the net, read a magazine multitask. In my younger days, no problem just sitting for hours listening.. is it me or are there others that experience the same...

I have the Sonos system and am currently running the digital feed from my zp80 to a ps audio pw-DAC. It does sound very good but am looking forward to the bridge adapter that will allow a direct feed from a NAS or USB harddrive directly into the DAC. I am very curious to see if the hype from...

I took a look at the link to your system, it is amazing. If it were my system I would only change one thing, replace the Squeezebox with something in the line of a Soolos system and rip all of your music or at a more reasonable price but less elegant interface the new Naim DAC and the PS Audio...

Kinda curious why you don't want to use the built in dac in the Krell, it looks like it has a ton of inputs and also unbalanced and balanced outputs. I would think the Krell dac would be better than the Cambridge.
