[QUOTE="Percy, post: 1172165, member: 1206"] Everyone, thank you for all the feedback and guidance! Sadly for the most part it's not good news - this from some serious experts that have repaired these speakers in the past ... It seems your options are: [LIST=1] [*]Overseas repair at Euro 2000 estimated per panel (just under 40k each) / These guys are superb, and you will get your speaker back better than new ....(HAVE A LOOK ) - [URL]https://www.quad-musik-shop.de/en[/URL] [*]Import the parts from - with a 40% change of success [*]Buy a new ESL (Not an option anymore ... as Balanced Audio stopped importing the ESL's) [*]Get the local agents to fix it at R8000 per panel ( 8000 X 6 THEN TIMES 2 ) THEN YOU ARE BACK WITH OPTION 1 ;-( [*]Move to the dark side and go for a voice coil speaker ... [/LIST] The best quote from one of the people I spoke to was .. " it's like a Range Rover ... once it starts giving problems .. you can never get it back to work 100% " .... Sorry for the car analogy and stepping on some Land Rover fans toes .. but its too funny not to share ... Cheers [/QUOTE]
