Sold Martin Logan CLS II

[john65b]

For Sale - Pair of perfect working condition Martin Logan CLS2 speakers. No noises or issues. Panels in great condition with no separations. Oak frames. Upgraded Crossover capacitors in Interfaces.

$1650 or best offer....

Just moved on to Quads. Surprisingly not a big jump in performance.

Also have a Sanders Kaya ESL Amp for sale too.....could do a package deal....

Pick up is west sub of Chicago. No shipping for now, as too fragile / expensive. Audition recommended...

That's looking great. Good luck with the sale. Amp price?

Amp listed separately and asking $2200

One question: What is the difference, technically and in performance, between this and the IIZ?
I am interested but do have concerns about the price to ship.
Thanks,
Jeffrey

I am not able to ship. If you have a friend in Chicago are than can ship to you, then that may be your best option.

I had the CLSIIz and all I remember is the interfaces being different....difference in the crossover design was the only thing

Slightly more efficient and easier on the amp.

My impression is that the panels in the II and IIz are the same, and only the interface is different. I once discussed at an audio show with Dennis from ML the possibility of getting my II interfaces modified to IIz. I subsequently read somewhere in Martin Logan land that many feel the II's actually sound better, despite being harder on the amp. We didn't discuss the cost of the IIz mod, but it made me happy with my decision to just go with an amp (pair ofParasound JC1's) that can handle them.

[ML4Life]

Happy these found a home!

 

[lowheat]

CLS Sold.

Congrats, John. If I lived around the corner from you, you would've sold them sooner.

 

[john65b]

Ha! They were nice!

Just like my Quads (ESL-2805) a tiny bit better...

Caveat is I have to be gentle with them....or else I am in a heap of trouble...

 

[lowheat]

Yes, been there and done that. (Still using 989s)

What they say is true - need 100 watts to sound their best and 101 watts to blow them up.

Sounds scary!
