I was in Seattle this past week, and just happened to see that Martin Logan was doing their US premier of their new flagship model, the CLX, at a Magnolia Hi-Fi there in Seattle. So I went, and was TOTALLY blown away by the performance. For a while now, I've thought that my next (and last) speaker upgrade will be either Martin Logans or Magnepans. Well, I want these pretty bad, but of course they're $20,000+. 8O
Well, the president of the Martin Logan fan club got invited to the Martin Logan factory in Kansas to hear the new CLX models, and he was blown away, too. That's his picture. I found it interesting that ML chose to use a Parasound Halo A21 for their demo! With a large electrostat, I would have assumed that you would need a massive amount of power. At my demo, though, the ML design reps that were there recommended either tube amps or a tube pre/pro to warm the sound, but said that even solid-state, 250 wpc should be sufficient.
So, kinda cool that these high-end speaker manufacturers keep using Parasound gear to demo their stuff.
