    New listening room with CLX speakers

    Beautiful system! You also have an interesting array of room treatments. I was curious how you arrived at that configuration? I’m considering having my dealer do an analysis in which they partner with Vicoustics for the treatment. Darko sure loves them!

    Upgrade bug is biting

    The Jl Audio CR-1 has transformed my system: ML CLS 1 + 2 JL Fathom 110 V2’s. Crossover at 80hz, 24 db/octave. Better bass, more detailed mids, wider soundstage, and the speakers completely disappear. The subs handle the bass fundamentals and the visceral punch, while the panels handle the snap...

    Reviving older ESLs - burn-in required?

    I too began to notice a lifeless quality in my 30-year old CLS 1s. Still pleasant, but lacking the transient response I was hearing in other systems. I spoke with Russ Knots, who couldn’t guarantee that they could be repaired. I decided to get new panels from ML and couldn’t be happier. With two...

    New CLS Panels

    I’m posting to share my appreciation of Brian and Ron in the service department, who set me up with new panels for my CLS 1's. My speakers are 35 years old and were still working but, after watching this forum, I became concerned about the panel's ultimate longevity, and I didn't want to be the...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Today I received my long-awaited copy of Aja, 45 RPM on 200-gram clear vinyl from Analog Productions via Acoustic Sounds. It absolutely blew me away; the soundstage was wider than the room, the instruments and vocals sounded three-dimensional and alive. At the beginning of the month, I...

    Passive Crossover bypass – Quest / reQuest

    I’m considering creating a high pass filter for my CLSs, as I’ve recently added 2 Fathom 110s. I noticed you’re using a 100 volt cap in your high pass section; can you tell my what brand you used and where you got it? Also, what type and gauge wire did you use?

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

    I’m the original owner of a pair of CLSs, and I’ve used Audio Research with great results. I started out with a D-125 (115 watts) and upgraded to a REF-150SE (140 watts). The 8-ohm tap sounded best in both cases, neither amp had any problems with the impedance, and I’m a real believer in the...

    Impressions Setup - Flashlight Technique

    P.S. I’ll share a great time-saving hack for those with carpet. For each speaker, I cut a 3/4 piece of plywood to match the footprint of the speaker and its interface. I also attached four self-adhesive 3.5” carpet gliders (available at Home Depot) to the bottom of each board and two cabinet...

    Impressions Setup - Flashlight Technique

    A couple of months ago, I purchased Paul McGowans book “The Audiophiles Guide: The Loudspeaker” and it’s accompanying test file from PS Audio’s web site...

    Greetings, I’m the original owner of a pair of CLS’s. I fell in love with the sound of electrostatics at age 14 when I heard a pair of Infinity Servo-Static 1’s driven by Macintosh electronics. As a young guitarist, I could already appreciate the sonic benefits of tubes. Like many on this...
