    Reviving older ESLs - burn-in required?

    Thank you. I know that placement ist critical. My listening room is certainly not over-damped, and it is rather large, although I have to use the shorter side of the room for practical reasons (it is also our living room, and it is all glass on one side). The sound seems very different to yours...

    They also recommend some upgrades to the crossovers - which seen already high quality, to me at least. Any advice on this?

    Reviving older ESLs - burn-in required?

    The weird thing is that the panels are not defective per se. It´s more like the frequency response seems off - upper treble is there, lower treble is lacking, as is lower midrange. And it sounds slightly lifeless, as Doug033 mentioned. I just spoke to the guys who do the refurbishment in...

    Thank you. No hum, distortion or static. Just a bit lifeless sound... So some beak-in can make them come alive, at least partly? At what level should they be played? Will report back soon ;-)

    Hello all, first post and first time ML owner here. Amazing to see there´s such an active community! I just bought a pair of Aeon i, which had been in storage for at least 3 years, but stored properly (dry, cool, dark, covered). The previous owner treated them well – no sunlight, frequent...
