Just a few questions that I am sure most here can answer, please.
My Martin Logan Requests (new panels as of 2 weeks ago) can only attract dust when they are plugged in, is this correct? I mean if unplugged they will gather dust but way way less than if plugged in?
And unplugging them from the wall/ AC outlet is the way to shut them off?
Any special way to vacuum the panels? (I know they have to be off for 4 or 5 hours to discharge before doing so). Is a real strong suction vacuum a good idea? Might it damage the panels? Can i use a brush attachment? Or might the bristles scuff the panel surface like surface scuffs on an LP?
When I say strong vacuum I mean just that. As an electrician, knowing all about air movement/cfm. The exhaust fan over my stove is so strong it actually lifts the oven off the ground. (kidding). Just making the point about a real powerful vacuum is all.
Important to do the back of panel as well yes?
I have a Saviar 5000 "electrostatic" air cleaner within 15 feet of the Requests. It moves/cleans 450 cfm on high speed. I know this is not a problem, it the negative ion emitter a danger to the Requests?
Any tips answers about this are much appreciated.
thanks
Joe
