Re: ESL 63 suddenly fading???!!

Sounded like it was an intermittent problem based on the description in your original post. Sometimes the sensitivity is low in one speaker?

The ESL63 can be quirky, especially as they age. The symptoms you describe sound typical of an ESL that is getting up there in age. Intermittent sensitivity drops, oddly enough, can sometimes be worse at lower SPL levels. I have a set right now that has the same sort of problems at low SPL, but when really pushing the speaker will play all day with no loss in sensitivity. It won't be long however, before the sensitivity drop is constant.

These problems tend to just happen with very little warning. Intermittent or constant sensitivity drops, whistling, rustling noises, pops & snaps, all seem to happen rather suddenly. ESL63 panels like to fail in spectacular fashion at times!
