zero impedance

Pedro from Absolute Sounds (Martin Logan UK distributor) told me that you need 250 watts minimum if you you want to hear the CLS IIz at their best

Ah Pedro... I remember talking to him after my 2nd pair of Aerius replacement panels were duff... the convo was a bit heated to say the least!:devil:

I don't know, some of the best sound I heard with my CLS's back then was with a pair of Levinson ML-2, 25 watt class-a monoblocks. I still think it's reserve power and current. The CLX's sound great with the Luxman L-590a II, (30wpc class a) too.

I found the CLS to be a lot more tolerant of tube amplification than the CLX, after the ML-2's I went to an ARC D-79, which I also liked very much.

Wish I still had that amp!!
