Great write up.
I am a huge fan of huge 'stats, however space limits for me dictate that 'stats are out of the question. Worst is I own great amps for stats - Atma MA1's.
Just a few weeks ago I heard my friends Soundlab U-1 with the latest PX technology panels. I had heard them before the PX upgrade and loved them, but now they are more robust, play louder and are more dynamic.
If you have not heard these, I think you should, since they are similarly Priced (Maybe Soundlab A-1's are the same price), and both represent the latest generation of 'stat technology. I know you are a Logie, but unless you are getting a deal from the factory for being such an evangelist (I think you should actually) you owe it to yourself to investigate all avenues.
I'd like to hear these myself - even if it would be a total tease for me.
On another note - I wonder what the CLX would image like in a more normal sized room than you heard them in? My friends U1's are not in a large room, and they don't as such dissapear - though they do in larger room's I'm told.
Did the CLX give that illusion of dissapearing?
I used to own ESL63's and in a 20x14 room they did image quite well, but of course that was a much smaller speaker that had plenty of room to 'breath.'
