LATEST ADDITIONS

Standing next to the Devin Zell is the CLX. Introduced just a few months ago to great fanfare (and apparently a great meal at<i>Le Bernardin</i> where chef Eric Ripert is also a Martin Logan fan), the CLX features a "triple stator, double diaphragm, low frequency panel" that means the descent-I subwoofer to the right will only be needed for movies.
