Someone hit Martin Logan CLX with the ugly stick?

they are MUCH better looking in person.

I heard that Gayle Sanders TOTALLY loves the CLX, btw and is very proud of what they've done since he left the helm.

I can only say that you should experience the CLX before judging it. You will be AMAZED.

Coundn't agree more about the ugly stick thing! They sound worse than they look. I actually got up and walked out in the middle of the audition...after...I believe my ears...they started to bleed...it least they felt like it anyway. Maybe it was the equipment, maybe the room? I really wasn't impressed at all with the entire project, especially for that kind of money!!

I did the same thing when the B&W Nautilus 801 debuted. I lasted all of 8 minutes.

I have a nice girl for you. She is active in the church. Has her own job. comes from a nice family. How does she look? Well she has nice personality. How does she look? She has a beautiful face?

Until I saw and heard a pair I would have agreed that the photos of the CLX are not flatering.
Up close they look much better, more of a whole than in the the shots I've seen of them.
The curved panel doesn't seem so pronounced for some reason.
Then again I really stopped looking at them when they started to play music, from an all Ayre system featuring the top of the line pre, cd and MXR monos.
I have owned Sequels, CLS 11z, Quad 63 and stacked 57',s and I can tell you if that is what you feel a stat should sound like, then the CLX will disappoint you.
These are not warm, rolled off romantic sounding speakers.
They are the best stats Martin Logan has made in my opinion and that includes a brief listening of the Statements.
They are in a select handful of speakers that I would buy if I had the funds,the others costing twice as much or more.
