So I've been bouncing around the last couple of days thinking about moving to an ML speaker. I have a lead on a local ReQuest sale, but have started to think that maybe I'd be happier with a full-range ESL like the CLS. I do have an opportunity to pick up a CLS (also locally), and have done quite a bit of research on this site about the speaker. The seller claims it's a CLS 1, but says that it dates from 1992. This seems to contradict the timeline on this site. The picture I have of the speaker for sale does seem consistent with other CLS 1 pictures on this forum (based on spacing between the horizontal lines towards the bottom of the panel and the fact that the horizontal lines don't meet the vertical ones). I've asked the seller for serial # information and am awaiting a response. Is there any way that this is a CLS 1 if the speaker dates from '92? From what I've read here, new panels are still available from ML, is that still true? And what about other upgrades, say to II, IIa or IIz status? Seems like the Z upgrade is no more, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
