That is Good News Jeff, I myself have just "run in" my New Stators in for my Quest's. I had pretty much done everything you have tried, and still wasn't happy, So as you say, New Panles it is. I am back to really enjoying my system once again. I am sure you will enjoy your CLSiiZ's even more...

Thanks for the replies, I am running them with Pink noise pretty much all the time, when I am not listening to music. :D They have already started to sound smoother and not so agressive from the first power up. Appreciate the comments Cheers Steve

Hi Everyone, Well, My Replacement Stators arrived this morning for my Quest's. I had them installed in about 30 mins :eek: I have fired them back up, and MAN, I am back in HT Heaven. :D What a gain in volume level compared to the original stators. I gained 18dB. I took a measurement with...

James, Any further updates on the Tweaks? Have you ordered any capacitors yet? or settled on a brand name? Looking forward to some results soon, I will be helping you soon, I just have to wait for my New Quest stators to get here, then I can get stuck into my Aerius i's. Cheers Steve

Very interesting, Are your speakers the Aerius or the Aerius i ??? They look like the Aerius. I have the Aerius i and my crossover layout is a little different to yours. I can send a picture to you and we can work out if there are any improvements between the 2 designs, that are an improvment...

Jean-Marie, I am replacing my Stators as they have lost a lot of the dynamics. The Upper frequencies have lost a lot of output, which means I need to increase the gain on them. I have had a lot of emails to Jim from ML, and he agrees with the replacement. They are over 14 years old, I have...

Cool, I am looking forward to it. Cheers Steve

Capacitors are- 100uF 100v 10% ERSE 170uF 100v 10% ERSE 22uF 160v Bennic MKT (Taiwan) 33uF 100v 10% ERSE 10uF 250v PA-MKP-FC (France) Hope this helps Cheers Steve

I have already opened my Aerius i's some months ago, I could email you the pictures of you like. I also did scribble down all of the components, but not had a chance to do a schematic yet. Cheers Steve

Mike, From what I have read in the Aeon Manual, they do have the Music Sensing HV Supply. This would mean that you don't have to worry about unplugging them. You could drop Jim an email at ML, and ask him. [email protected] Hope this helps Cheers Steve

I just replaced the original terminals that ML uses for the Stator wiring. As I had lots of corrosion and carbon built up. I silver soldered the ends of the cables, but still used a terminal block, as I am replacing my Stators very soon. You can see my handy work in the Tweaks section under...

The Quest ML's I have always have the Stators HV supply ON, so they attract dust to the Panels. Mine were built in 1991. It wasn't until 1993, that ML started using a newer design which turned off the charge to reduce the tendency to collect dust. Quest-z was an improvement over the Quest by...

Thanks Guy's, I don't have the opertunity to test them at home before buying, as they are located in Germany. I suppose I am really trying to work out if I can get my dream of Valve amps :D or stick with Solid State, which I already own, and are very happy with. I have always liked the idea...

Hello everyone, I am in the process of looking at getting some Valve Amplifers, to replace my Solid State ones. Some background, I use the system for Home Theater and Music. The Amplifiers will power my Quest Speakers which are the Main Left and Right speakers in my system. I Love my Music and...

Here is Jim's reply, I also asked about his opinion on the Music Sensing HV Boards for my Quest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The additional coatings to the film was actually implemented on the run several years ago. After it proved itself in the...

That is true Eric, For my Quest, but my Aerius i's do. ;) But there are plenty of other areas to look at. Capacitor replacement, Removing the Circuit boards and replace with Hard Wiring. Internal wiring replaced. Hmmm, What else, we will have to see. Cheers Steve

I like these kinds of Threads, As they expand our preconcieved ideas of what should work, and what doesn't. I myself, do believe that small changes to equipment can result into big sound improvements. I will have my Quest speakers apart to replace the Stators within the next couple of weeks...

Hi everyone, I am about to order new stators for my Quests speakers and was thinking about the New Spray Process that ML are now using. Will my replacement Stators be made using the New Process? How long ago did they start to use the new process? I asked these questions to the ML dealer here...

Dan, though I do like the idea, LED's only draw about 20mA, so I disagree about the power usage. You may find the circuit that drives the LED isn't designed very well, and this introduces noise or distortion into the amplifier, which would explain the cleaner sound after the LED had been cut off...

In the Tweaks section , I just posted the Shower Method of cleaning ML's I have Quest and Aerius i's, the Guide was based on my Quest, The only thing I can't help with is getting the Stator out of your Clarity's. I am sure that someone else could chime in here with the How to. I just had a...
