Quote Bignerd100: "I think that the two seprate speakers for each channel would defeat some of the benefits of using the CLS panels. THey act as a point source."
Actually the CLS behaves as a Line Source as do all of the Martin Logans hybrids above the bass driver crossover point. If you built a rigid frame which stacked the panels intimately together, I see two potential problems- Avoiding having the joint between the panels anywhere near ear level, and sorting out appropriate amplification for the high voltage transformer circuits. I imagine the panel pairs would need to be series connected to avoid your amplifier seeing a near short circuit at high frequencies. Build a pair of appropriate 8'+ tall open baffle subwoofers with say 6 12" IB drivers per side to handle low-to-mid bass frequencies and you'd have a poor man's ML Statement !
Happy Trails!
