** NOTE: I have priced these VERY attractively (given the condition, and the stands) for local pick-up or nearby meet-up. They're truly world-class speakers.
The Martin Logan website says, Experience the pinnacle of electrostatic design. Where prismatic beams of musical energy are dispersed throughout your environment with precision, clarity and power. The is the limitless spectrum of the CLS II. Flawless, total dispersion is achieved without delay lines, lenses or protective devices. Purity flows in passages of silence as well as crescendo. The CLS II offers you absolute truth in musical reproduction.
That has certainly been my experience. These are marvelous speakers in every way, one of the very few full-range and crossover-less electrostats to make it to market and in my opinion and others' the best of the CLS line-up. I have enjoyed them for four or five years, but here at 65 it is time to find them a new home (I'm listing the upgraded Llano Amplifier that drives these and a separately).
They're in exceptional sonic condition, with never any crackles or pops or other impolite noises. I listen mostly to small-scale acoustic music (instrumental and vocals) but they can rock as well. They have never been overdriven or otherwise abused. The word "transparent" applies in spades, and not just visually. The only cosmetic issue to the laquered black frames is that the upper transverse section on the back of the right speaker became loose at some point, and the previous (and only other) owner affixed a steel strip to stabilize. Never an issue in my ownership. They're otherwise perfect.
The rare and very useful SoundAnchor stands are also included, and as you can see they elevate the speakers and cut down on bass reflection (among other benefits). Read more here: https://soundanchors.com/products/2053/martin-logan-stand They're a desirable and great upgrade.
You may find out more at the ML website (here: https://www.martinlogan.com/en/product/clsii) and may view a quick video of the speakers (and the associated amp and preamp) in action here: https://youtu.be/a_6_xdjUiR4.
I bought them and had them shipped on a pallet, but I would certainly prefer local pick-up or a nearby (within 100 miles or so) meet-up. ** IF you insist on shipping, please get your own quotes for the following weights/dimensions, from my zip code of 30117:
1 box 61X35X12" weight 75lbs containing both panels
2 boxes 26X18X12” weight 34lbs each (interfaces)
2 boxes 30X18X18 weight 32lbs each (stands)
I have the original box for the interfaces, and will include the two (fabric, oak-based, pilled) RoomTunes for a full price offer.
Read my feedback and buy with confidence.
Thanks, and happy listening,
Mark
