I was over at the Magnolia store inside Best Buy the other day looking at headphones and saw that they had the CLX's set up in a separate room. The salesmen was nice enough to offer to let me hear them knowing that I was not in the market for speakers. They had them paired with a pair of Mac 601 monoblocks and a ML sub. Everything was set up perfectly.
The sound was spectacular. Even though the CLX's don't go below 56Hz the bass was powerful (despite the sub). The CLX's don't sound like other ML's that I have heard. I have always thought that the midrange was too light on other ML's. But the CLX's mids were lush and deep while still being delicate at the same time. Imaging was excellent and the sound was just floating in air. I could have sat there all day listening.
All told the system was about $80K. The only other system that I have heard that sounded comparable was a $120K system of Wilson Alexia's paired with Ayre and Modwright.
