Cheers. I'm not really sure what the coating is made from. It used to be available as crystals or powder and it was dissolved in distilled water. Rob at ER Audio now offers it as a strong solution now to make it easier. I'll just have to add one part of his chemical to so many parts water...

Funny you should mention that... I'm thinking of offering this as a service here in Australia. I'm not sure how viable it would be though as a rebuild of just the panels is very time intensive and Electromotions here are only AU$3500 or so. The caps for the xover were $400 and the cable was...

The factory bass driver screw holes were drilled out and some butty T-nuts added I also made a tensioning frame for when I replace the diaphragms. Its curve is traced off the rear of the stators so it's the same profile. The stators were pulled apart and the old film, foil tape, and...

The new binding posts were fitted. And the Kimber 4TC was added using the other cross over as a template. More soon.

The cross overs were stripped of the caps, inductors and all wiring and the new Mundorf caps were fitted. Because the new caps are so much larger, there was no room on the board for the inductor anymore. It was relocated further away from the other two inductors and oriented to have less...

I picked up 6m of Kimber 4TC speaker cabling for all internal wiring. This was chosen because it's a nice sounding cable and matches the cables from the amp. It's also Teflon coated so will suit the HT part of the project. I also picked up some hardware: gold plated, solid brass oversize...

The first work done was stripping the speakers back to components. This is the Aerius i as a shell. The runners that the stators sit back on are only lightly glued in place and one had started to come away from the frame. I decided to screw the suckers on and this is the result: I also...

A few years ago now, I was introduced to panel speakers through some Apogee Calipers at a hi-fi show in Auckland, NZ. Since then and after listening to various panels (Magneplanar, Audiostatic, Martin Logan, etc) I have always wanted to own panels. Apogees came up a couple of times but I...

A little more work was done tonight. I replaced the factory caps with Mundorf M - caps. I used a Supreme bypass cap in each group of caps as well - they're the small black cap in each bundle. The caps were hot glued in place and then zip tied to the board. Obviously, there was no room on...

Cheers guys. Will run separate cables from each point 'just in case'. One thing I have learnt with this project so far is that as good as the Aerius is in standard form, the standard form is absolutely full of compromises. The cable being replaced is a 4 core version of Kimber PBJ interconnect...

Quick question for you guys; Can you think of any reason why the two blue Kimber wires in this pic were not run as a single wire? I mean, they meet at the front stator panel in the end anyway. One is fed off one part of the cross over - yellow wire One is fed off the power supply board - blue...

Great write up. If you get the chance, it would be very helpful to see the pictures.

A good point also already considered. Cheers.

Thanks camflan. Bzr, I was anticipating that tax would have to be paid. I would still come out on top however, after chatting with the owner of my local ML retailer today, I was left very hopeful that I would be looked after because of degrees of separation being very small indeed...

Hi from Australia. I'm about to purchase some EM-ESL's. I'll always support my local dealer here in Australia first however, I can't pass up a deal on a used set I've found in the USA. The trouble is, the seller has said that they'll only ship to the continental US. I've registered an escrow...

About 5 years ago I got back into better quality gear and music. As things stand now I have a Sony XA5ES cdp, Bewitch KT88 integrated valve amp and Aurum Cantus stand mounted speakers. It's all connected up with Kimber 4TC and 8TC. The amp is 60-70wpc in UL mode or switchable to 30wpc class A...
