The folks at McIntosh are sending me a pair of MC 1.2kw's for review and they should be here by the time I get back from Switzerland.

Very curious to see how the CLX's do with all that power.

And staring at the big blue meters could be really cool!

:)
 
Hm... you can test the ML reps statement that the CLX shutdown a pair of Big Macs i.e. the very ones your getting.

So crank it!!! Hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you elaborate a bit on this?

Hmm...

We'll see. I find it hard to believe that 1200 watt solid state amps ran out of juice driving the CLX's.

If they didn't have enough AC power, that could have been the problem.

I've got a pair of 20A lines though, so we should be good to go.

I'll certainly let you know. I've got magnepans too, much harder to drive than the CLX's...

Yeah sure - Pete the sales rep at London 2008 - http://www.martinloganowners.com/~tdacquis/forum/showthread.php?t=7164 said it whilst we were having a chat - I actually recorded it and posted it somewhere in the show report. If I remember correctly, it was just as the CLX was playing La Grange.

I can make it available for download for a brief period again, if you really are that interested. Personally, I think it was some kind of "boasting" sales banter... I didn't really believe him:)

EDIT: Having said that, there may have been some truth in it for all I know...
