Hello there!
I owns a pair of Martin Logan Vantange since about 5 years. A few days ago, I heard some arcing noise on one of the speaker. Looking more closely with lights dimmed, I could clearly see a small quite permanente brilliant arc between the mylar film and the back stator (metallic grid). On the mylar film I can clearly see a small black dot where the arcing occurs. I cannot see anything on the stator (poor access)
Picture attached (I hope :ROFL:
I've contacted ML for help, in their opinion I need a new stator...
I have the impression that the stator insulation has locally failed and that it could be relatively easy to fix if I could recoat the damaged area with some kind of varnish.
Is there anybody here that has experienced such failure, and attempted to fix it?
Many thanks from a DMLO (Desperate ML Owner)
