Yes I agree with Robert. I used to leave them connected before i had problems ...now I have my entire setup completely powered off the mains daily. Only turn the mains on the entire setup when I am using it. I have a power conditioner upstream so I just keep that entire thing off. Saves speakers...

Yeah...Maybe in hindsight it was the emotiva amps. Maybe it was being in storage over covid too long. I did buy them straight out of lock downs in 2021. But I don't believe they should die just with weather and air and house dust. Unless you are really letting them out in the yard. Cheers.

Hey! - haha here I am - thanks Robert for remembering - a very happy new year to you all. hi guynemer - what ESL models are these? I live in New Delhi india, not so humid, and also my sound system sits in literally a temp/humidity/dust controlled environment as my home is pretty sealed. So I...

This seems to be moisture or other latent storage related damage on the boards. Mine didn't look so bad but this is a similar problem

Hey Espen I'm the member who posted the level difference post. I have read all the comments here and what you are going through. And basis my experience, here is my immediate summary of what might have happened and what is the solution. 1. The classe Amp you are using is a high current Amp. My...

Hi guys. I am the member who posted the level difference esl 9 speakers post. I have a pair of these and have been through something similar. Do let me know can I help ? I'm just going to read through all the threads and respond in linebut long story short.. write to ML USA immediately and...

Hey Roni Yes i already tried this couldn't find anything. They look clear as new but maybe there is something inside the edge behind the frame. But both speakers have similar characteristics so it's fairly consistent here. Also as an update ML has officially emailed me and asked me to move...

Things are well. Good to hear you're keeping well. Inflation discussions on another thread haha 😂 Equipment is doing well. Just added a feya plus with tubes along with the mc301 pair. Really enjoying the sound, expecting some 6sn7GTB NOS soon. Great little product. Just very skeptical on...

So this is like a static sound hiss. Like a squeal bzzz but not like white noise or like a record player ground sound. It's not being produced by the diaphram itself but i think the connection points or at joints on the panels. You touch the spot and it changes goes away comes back. When your...

As heard from ML ..see attached screenshot

Hi Robert Hope you have been well. Apparently ML USA says this is a normal occurance due to dust and to do a vacuum clean. I tried that not much diff will try again. My speakers stay covered 100% of the time when idle. I possibly play them 30 mins a day and more on weekends. Room is primarily...

I've ordered a power conditioner from audioquest, a pq3 sonwiol see if that helps. On my previous thread and problem they changed the panels and boards although not in my presence. Had speakers sent to dealer for this. They don't do speaker replacement in my country. I do have warranty on my new...

Hi i am having the similar issue with fairly new ESL 9s. Did you manage to get to the solution of this one ?

Not particularly in a humid area, not near the ocean but it's been humid for a few weeks as it rains on off ..mostly it's dry here. The hiss i hear is a like an insect squealing hiss on particularly 1 area on each panel. The hiss responds to pressure from my fingers and taps. It tends to change...

Thanks.. speakers were new but had some initial problems possibly due to being in distributor storage over lockdown. I purchased them late 2020 post lockdown. I'm in New Delhi India. ML does give me warranty on the replaced panels. ML usa says hiss is normal. Let me try some of these first...

I am running ESL 9's with McIntosh mc301 monos. Recently I added a feya plus with electroharmonix tubes. Question 1 Both my panels have developed an audible static hiss recently. It is on different spots on each panel Audible when your ear is placed close to it. Did a vacuum clean already...

Hey they are fantastic. I have a pair since the last year. Over the esl series the masterpiece just take it to the next level in terms of true hifi. They are delicate and precise. Their center imaging and sound stage is phenomenal. No complaints but would need at least 1 sub in the room just...

It is possible this has had bad luck. If you have disqualified the electronics amongst the panels then it is possible the panel has failed. On the discussion of longevity, Panels do not fail if looked after. ALL Esl's need proper care and storage and some love and care. I leave mine covered all...

Have been using a pair of mcintosh mc301 mono blocks with a pair of Classic ESL 9's. Considered these as Pass was not available without pre-order and much waiting time and also due to the ability of the amps to handle impedence swings in the ESL's, mcintosh autoformers had it covered. Loving...
