Ron, thanks a lot. So I can almost pick up used clx and mc452 for a little over the price of new summit x. Im tempted to pull the trigger.
You won't regret. Good luck with your decision.

Parasound JC-1 mono amps are also a killer combo with the CLXs.

One thing to really consider as well with gear is that its not always a good thing to have a certain "name brand" component. I had the MBL 8011AM mono blocks, and they were recommended by many many people for my CLX, so I got em. It never really sounded perfect even though it sounded fantastic. Many people have said via emails and pm's that I was crazy to sell them and get the the new Ampzilla 2000 MKII mono's, but Ill tell ya, thats crap! its all about synergy and your setup, room accoustics etc. Name doesnt mean anything when it needs to be mixed with other components. Hell, when I had the LSA Statement amp it sounded way smoother, less edgy and had a bigger soundstage then the MBL and its way cheaper! Most people on High end sites dont even consider the LSA a "good" amp, again crap! But thats my experience. I have learned some lessons and will learn more. I am dead set on Martin Logan, but the rest is TBD.
Amps can be easily changed, too... and if you buy them used you can usually sell them for what you pay... so that makes it MUCH easier.
I don't want to start flipping it like I do golf equipment. It would be way to expensive.
