Re: Hissing from Quad 63s - reason?

The problem with the panel you described is that it has become defective. It was caused by either stator delamination or diaphragm
damage or both. The problem with 63 diaphragms over the years is that
that they lose their tension caused by either partial rupture or by
glue release at the edges where they are glued to the supporting
frame. The 63 diaphragms are very fatigue prone.

Your only remedy will be to have this panel repaired or replaced it with a new one. I would prefer the latter. High humidity would not matter then. It is not causing problems such as you described, it only makes an existing problem more noticeable.

Regards,
David
