New CLX Art Speakers IN THE HOUSE...
 
So most of you know my Audio Journey…Lots of 'upgrades'. Some of it gradually and some quickly :) I upgraded just about everything in my system. Cables/interconnects/power etc.. next.

I loved the Martin Logan 13a’s. In fact I enjoyed them so much I wanted more of it! Was able to demo a pair of Martin Logan CLX Art speakers in Milwaukee last October and was in Audio Bliss. It was the best 2 channel experience of my life. :thumbsup:

During that trip I met up with a local dealer and BOOM. Secured a great deal to trade my almost new 13’s for a new set of CLX Art Electrostatics. AND for a pair of ML Balanced Force 212 subs.

So I’ve been without 2 channel audio since the first of December! :no: I knew they were hand made so really no hurry and it gave me time to save the $$.

I’ll update this thread with pics but for now here's a teaser…

Yea BIG and HEAVY :)

Got them all hooked up. Took some time. Only had them connected for just a little over a day and so far so good. Did the ML custom filters that marry the subs and the CLX. Trying to not do much critical listening until they break in.;)

I'll post updates with actual gear pics and some brief summaries. Its going to be a FUN ride!

Quick impressions so far? HOLY MOLY these are SO GOOD :)

I have always wanted to hear these CLX panels. I still have my reQuests from the 1990’s in my collection. Enjoy.

Congrats Tim! Did you get the ML PBK Room Correction kit with microphone and software? It's a nominal fee option with their subs which is highly recommended, it makes a big difference in getting a smoother room response.

Tim, so glad you are back up and running, 2 months is a long to wait but I’m sure the payoff is coming through in spades. Can’t wait to see the near speakers in your room.

Can't wait to see the pics of the final setup! I have a pair of the 212's and I think you'll love them!!! The CLX Arts are very special speakers and I think the very best of what Martin Logan has produced. Congrats!

Tim,
Congratulations. Two months with no sound is way too long. Happy listening! :thumbsup:

You guys are awesome! I love this forum. Really do. Everyone is truly supportive and helpful and you can feel the genuine joy that is shared when others are doing stuff for their system.

AWESOME.

Yea while I am work I have the system jamming to a playlist on shuffle :) Got a PBK kit on the way. Bought one last fall for the 13s but dangit cant find it. :( So that will certainly help with the room and bass response.

Pics coming but don't judge! :no: I need some kind of art behind the gear AND some diffusors as well. And still working on the best way to display the components. What I wanted won't work :scratch2:

We can all appreciate that this is a journey...

Thanks again for the kind remarks.
