I have SL3's as well and I have them bi-wired to an audio research VS110 and they still sound fantastic. I can't tell you I can hear a difference as my decision was based on a relatively small up charge to the speaker wire I was buying, Shunyata Lyra, to make them bi-wired vs. head to head...

Sorry for the delay in getting back on your question but I wanted to give the focus some time to break in. It is definitely better, clearer and more articulate, but I would not say it was miles better than the Theater. I have since also upgraded my amplifier and the two combined are much better...

Nope, they didn’t suggest it was an option but I never asked either. I ended up getting a focus.

I ended up buying a focus C18. Didn’t want to be down for months.

Washing unfortunately did not fix the issue. I also swapped out the power cord just to check that as well and no change. I will see what ML says about me sending it in and using my parts to make a new stat.

Great suggestions. I am about to hook up the panel after washing it yesterday in the shower and having AC blow on it for 36 hours, but if that fails I will definitely ask ML about that option as I have the original box up in the attic.

I asked about it and Ron at ML said they can no longer get the metal for the Theater or Theater i Stat.

Thanks for the explanation on the arcing, much appreciated. I took the final step of rinsing it in the shower today just to see if that has any effect. Looking like a replacement may be the only option, but if the rinsing has any effect I will report back. Again thanks very much to everyone...

None taken! I am asking for the advice so happy to check anything. Any thoughts on what to check? I did a close look at the wires going to the stat in the dark so no arcing there and insulation seems to be well done. I replaced the power supply and had the same issue so all those connections...

Ron is who I have been working with and he has been awesome. Yes I did send a recording and he was hopeful it was the power supply. I only just replaced that yesterday and as I said it did not fix the issue. Based on our discussions this was our last hope as he said if not the power supply it...

Yep, I removed the tweeter panel completely and disconnected the woofers. Definitely the panel.

Greetings! I am looking for some advice from this very experienced group of fellow ML enthusiasts. I have a Theater center channel stat panel that is consistently crackling (sounds like a hundred black cat fireworks going off very rapidly or the sound professional fireworks make when they have...
