From the ML site.... Aerius i: 42" (106.7cm) CLS™ electrostatic transducer --- Aeon i: 37" (94cm) Generation 2 CLS™ electrostatic transducer; Ascent i: 48" (122cm) Generation 2 CLS™ electrostatic transducer --- Source/Purity: 28" Generation 2 CLS™ electrostatic transducer Vista/Vantage: 40"...

This is one hilarious thread.....too much hate though.... Why is it such a surprise that many folks here would have cars like that? Most people would consider us to be elitist as well with our $$$ fancy components and speakers with multi-name designer labels :D.

I may want to do the same....can you post up instructions here?

Aerius i == Aeon i == Vista. The Source would probably be a downgrade...maybe not a full step. With the newer better panel, and better integration, the Vista is probably a 1/2 step up, so I'd guess the Source is a 1/2 step down.

I was a kid and went to some audio store where I grew up..I can't remember which one...I can't even remember what year exactly. I remember the sales guy proudly showing the ML speakers. I thought the grills were just that..grills and that the sound somehow was being transported up from the...

Depends on how comfortable you are in spending more for a higher end ML.... With a $5,500 budget you could get yourself a used pair of Summits, then you pretty much have the best (Summit X and CLX forgone), and you're done. They look stylish, have the latest technology, and perform great...

Man..this thread has gotten long.... Quick question.... Is only manufacturing moving? Or is R&D also moving? It would be a sensible move to cut costs on manufacturing and invest more in R&D. Remember that growth is always the focus at the cost of profitability, so I don't believe they would...

That's how i intepret it as well. It would make sense as the Descent i is not an old line.

What happened to the link to the ad? Yeah...just realized I'm not supposed to post forsale stuff. Is it okay if I just post how to find it? Okay...for anybody interested....use: http://www.craiglook.com And search for Martin Logan CLS. You'll actually find 2 of them...there is another guy...

After all this, I did the measuring...which I think I should have done in the first place....wow it's not easy fitting 28" wide speakers. They won't fit comfortably in my room..now I know why folks suggest a minimum 20x20 room. The issue is I have a 120" diagonal screen in a 15 foot room...

Local meaning a little over an hour away. That's the plan though. Well not today with the snowstorm and all. I don't trust my ears enough yet....also it depends on his setup. Glad to know the amp is good enough :D. Budget? I think I'd like to get them and then make a choice. My only...

I have a Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature amp 405 x 5. I still owe pictures of my setup :o. The room is 15x21 (approx)...and I would have it sitting pretty snug to the right side, and maybe 3 feet away from the left. I can put it about 3 feet away from the back wall. Reason for the off center...

Hi guys, There is a local guy selling a set of original CLS speakers with original panels. He is the original owner (well bought 7 months old from a friend). What are the chances that these things are usable and don't need a panel replacement? He claims they sound great, and he's selling...

What's interesting though is all the new line of speakers (vista, vantage, spire, summit) crossover higher as well. Not to make this an old generation vs new, but there must be a difference.

Mixed feelings. Obviously this was a consolidation move by Shoreview. Canada also makes great speakers, so I'm not too concerned about quality, nor perception. China is getting better, but I'm not really interested in paying a premium for China made stuff. Sunfire went that route as...

Maybe because they don't sell the 5 speakers as a set so they don't have a special box for it.

I'm jealous :bowdown:. Congratulations...I'm sure you'll enjoy them :music:.

No worries folks.... I did some serious digging and found some info.... Ascent i - better integratation - Gen 2 panel - newer technology - easier to place (1-2 ft away from wall is good) - lower placed panel - Jim Powers states they lowered panels in the MLs on purpose and they sound better...

I was wondering what the general consensus was concerning these two speakers? I have read great things about an Ascent/Descent combo. They are the successor to the SL3. The ReQuest panels are huge which leads me to believe you need a big room for them. I have been meaning to audition both of...

I think the UMC-1 looks to be great. I'm thinking of getting one when it comes out. Right now the Integra 9.8 (or 9.9) is a good pre-processor..but as you said, this will easily get over $1K. I misread the original post....receiver... I used a Harman Kardon AVR7300 with great success...it...
