Your ESL-63's seemed to work fine for you. Do you think it was because you didn't run them full range?
Alternatively I wonder if something in your system is pushing your panels to fail prematurely.
When you transitioned from the ESL-63's did you change anything else in your setup?
Owning my Quad's since the 80's I've read and experienced some interesting things.
I've read they do not play well with some amps and to avoid certain cables because of their capacitance or inductance properties.
My Quad's can play louder and cleaner after I have cleaned all compoonent connections, contacts, tubes and sockets. Better signal and stability is a healthy thing. Maybe similar to how low wattage amps under distress can actually do more speaker damage than a more stable higher wattage amp.
Recent household purchases like appliances and HVAC have been affecting my system's overall sound. I did a few tweaks and nicely cleaned up what turned out to be electrical interferences with some of the components. I blamed panel failure in the speakers at first. Perhaps they would have been damaged if I let things go on longer.
Back in my early days of dynamic speakers and turntable rumble you wouldn't necessarily notice the flutter of a woofer unless the cloth grills were removed. I guess the point being that some things can be doing wear and tear may be going on unknowingly.
