For $20k Kenny, I want my speaker to go below 56HZ. Again I feel that ML hinting for ages at a $20K speaker should have just said it would be the CLX.

It is much bigger than the CLS was too. So maybe they will come out with a smaller version?

I am still confused, the original CLS didn't go deep, why are you so surprised the new model doesn't either?

I understand wanting it to, but I think you are asking a lot form an electrostat.

I don't think that he is. Electrostats are capable of going below 56 Hz. These are just too small and over-priced.

This is my answer to the Martin Logan CLX: Martin Logan Summits (woofers disconnected) along side of Magneplanar Tympani IV bass panels (modified) and Eminent Technology TR-17 Rotary subwoofer. This combo is awesome!!!!!!!!
