Thanks for the info everyone. I'm really happy to hear this!

This might seem like a stupid question, but having a sub means having to have a processor-type integrated amplifier, right? Can I use a pre-amp & a stereo power amp if I want a sub? I've been thinking of adding a sub to my SL-3 setup, but having to switch amps has dissuaded me thus far.

Hi everyone, A few months ago I had my sl3's perfectly placed, and sounding amazing. The soundstage was ginormous and imaging was laser-pointer accurate. Then I moved the speakers to make room for a projector. A month later I put them back, but the soundstage is completely gone, the speakers...

Original panels on my SL3's. 15.5 years and going strong. There is a slight buzzing from one of the panels, but it's not too bad.

I should have mentioned, the GIK's are 244's and monster bass traps. Don't know why I said 242. Anyway, I just swapped the Abffusors with the 244's, and the sound stage has really opened up. I guess I'm losing a bit of bass trapping by doing this, but having diffusion behind the speakers helps...

Thanks for the advice everyone. @Jonathan: The salesman who sold me these really took advantage of my lack of knowledge. Those abfussors cost as much as the majority of the other traps combined. What would be a good absorber to mount at the first reflection point? I'm guessing I'd want...

Spoke with ML yesterday. Customer support is phenomenal. He recommended swapping the back panels to see if the problem was with the stators or the electronics and sent me an email with step-by-step directions. Well guess what, swapping them seems to have solved the problem. I don't know why this...

Well I finally got the panels washed, but my problem is still there. It's actually got a bit worse, now the problem rarely fixes itself when I move the cables around. Washing the panels did help with reducing the amount of hiss coming from the speakers though. I didn't notice anything out of the...

The listening seat is the chair(dot) in the middle of the room. The sofa's just a piece of furniture.

Hi Moon, Thanks for the reply. I'm attaching my floorplan. The dot in the middle is my seating position. The lines are the speakers. Flooring is carpet, with the exception of the kitchen, which is tile. I have placed mats all along the kitchen floor though. I have GIK Tri-traps, floor to...

Hi everyone, I'm wondering where I should place my absorber panels for my SL3. I think the dispersion of electrostats is much narrower than normal box speakers, so would the mirror method work alright, or should be moving the panels closer to me? Thanks, Varun

Thanks for the advice Bernard. I'll check for this when I remove the panels for washing.

Wiggling the power cord doesn't do anything. I can fully unplug the cord as well, and the problem persists. Also, this may be irrelevant, but the amount of hiss coming from the speaker in question is much lower in volume than the other speaker. I don't know why this would be the case though.

Hi guys. Thanks for the words of welcome. Horchem1972, It's great to know that we're so close by! I really am enjoying the speakers.

Hi everyone, I'm having some issues with my SL3's. Specifically, the right speaker becomes muffled at random times. I can only describe the effect as feeling like you're part deaf in one ear The high frequencies become muffled, but everything else sounds the same. The effect isn't subtle, it's...
