What are you powering your Martin Logans with????

Gilbert Yeung of Blue Circle Audio likes Martin Logan's. He has a pair of Accents and Odessey; and a PINK colored pair of CLS made special for him by ML I guess as a joke. You can sure they are powered by his gear. They are also used to test his gear (among some other brands).

My CLSIIz speakers are powered by a pair of Blue Circle AG8000 monblocks. Scary..... I have also heard Odysseys, Aeons, Ascents powered by various Blue Circle amps. They are very well matched - mind you, Blue Circle seems to work well with an assortment of stuff.

I used to own Martin Logan Requests and powered them with Clayton M70 monoblocks. The sound was phenomenal to the point of goosebumps mated with an Audible Illusions L1 preamp. I missed that set up at times... The high current Clayton amps are a match made in heaven with ML's. I saw a pair for sale $2800.00. which is a good price.

I now own the Clayton S40 and will be using Rick Reimer Wind River GS speakers when they arrive.

I have the original CLS. Power in the past has consisted of Classe CA200, Conrad Johnson premier 5 monos (in triode and UL modes), 47 Lab Gaincard (it worked well!), Antique Sound Lab 1006-845 monos and lately Electronluv vv45-845 monos (< 20wpc). The amount of power that these supposedly need is overstated.

I run two Classe 25 power amps with Acsents, and bi-amp the amps, also using a Classe CP-60 preamp and the system kicks @ss! Classe amps work great with Logans.
I ran them in mono and prefer them bi-amped, a bit more musical sounding, 3-D, air, sound stage is wall to wall and instruments seem to float with lots of space between instruments. a synergy thing!
