Nice contentious sounding post but a lot of views on the aesthetics have already been put forward. I tried to convince myself I liked it for a while. Alas, it isn't a patch on the original CLS - simplicity in itself and just A ranking great looking.

It looks like it's been cobbled together - it is definately not "of a piece". If I was ML, I would withdraw it and think again.

There's a chance I am wrong and it is great, but I doubt it. All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best. This speaker simply doesn't look simple. More like cobbled together in the constructional sense.

There's already tweaks available for them too.

I think we ourselves have made more scathing comments here on this website!

I personally don't care for the looks - only how they sound, but it would have been nice to have an "airframe" design.

I think they look great in red; my wife agrees with me.

I think we have become too tied-in to boxy-looking speakers, including the CLS and the Summits. Think of the CLX as more like a sculpture, which would make it more pleasing to the eye in a domestic situation. I commend ML for breaking with convention. :bowdown:

A friend of mine heard them in Munich (a CLS owner) and he said they were out of this world good.

Tom's going there in about a week, right? I'm jealous, I can't get out there till the end of the month, can't wait!!
