You should be OK with the CLS's. I've heard them powered by amps that put out a lot less power than the ARC's you list. And I'm pretty sure that they weren't the z version either. The z's are easier to drive than the older models.
Could either amp work?
Question 1. Could the Audio Research VM 220 and/or the Audio Research REF 210 drive the Martin Logan Monolith IIIp? Any preferences and why would be appreciated?
Question 2. Would either amp be a great match for the Martin Logan CLS IIz?
My room is 16' by 24' and 9' in height. I listen to jazz, vocals and classical primarily.

Here is an impedance graph (solid line) of the CLS IIZ The dotted line is Quad 57 As you can see, it goes below 1ohm, a tube may sound dull in the highs with these. http://www.justrealmusic.com/images/graphs/quadclsimp.jpg Cheers george |
