New CLS II panels playing nice!

[Lightloopy]

Installed the new panels today and I am just blown away. The volume difference between the panels is gone, the bass has filled up nicely, and a midrange that is organic, engaging and intimate and pristine highs. Using the VTL's with 225W triode which doesn't hurt.
This is out of the box with 10 minutes on the panels so we'll see how things go.
Even though the panel is pricey, if you get a bargain on a used CLS it is worth every penny. I am still amazed that there is factory support for a 30 year old speaker.

My new Prodigy panels are the same way. Only strange thing is Audyssey says the speakers are out of phase now. I don't know why. I just "ignored" it in the setup. They sound great.

Enjoy them. Definitely worth the wait!

Ignore it, it's either the reflected rear-wave confusing it or the fact that I think the Prodigies are one of the models where the woofers (or one woofer) are truly wired out of phase.

Congrats! Given them some 20 to 30hrs of play time and they get even better.

At 30+ hours what Joh said is correct they will open up amazingly.

Have fun.

Mine opened up after 40 hours. I ran a break in disc for a few hours daily -- big noise sweep between 80 and 11,00K.
Even if you have a sub, run them FULL spectrum. It's like ------- warm dark chocolate. Time to set toe-in!

Ah the chocolate tower. Thanks for the tips-I look forward to hearing how these blossom. Placement will also be fun as small degree changes seem to give dramatic changes.
Thanks!

Its not the woofers, because it didn't happen before I got the new panels. Guess it's the wave. My old panels must have been so dull that it didn't happen!
