I have ESLs and I put a floor lamp with a mid-hight arm and a light behind the panels so I can see thru the speakers.
They're about 10 - 12" away from the rear of the panel. They are pigtail florescent bulbs and don't put out much heat.
Is it ok to do this?
Thanks
Does anyone know if using ESLs with the cover on does any damage to the panels? I've had mine about 3 years. I'd say about 2 of those out of their own boxes. I almost never take the dust covers off. Sounds plenty fine at low to medium volume levels. Of course they sound detectably better...
