Covers: Do you use them, does anyone make them, etc....

Greetings All:

This forum has been very helpful in helping me understand that panel performance is enhanced by keeping them dust free and minimizing humidity. So my question is: is it common practice to use some sort of dustcover on the speakers when not in use? If so, is there a recommended design for them? Or a source for purchasing them?

Hello PJR. if you bought your ESL new, there probably were black cloth covers in the box they were shipped with and you should use those. I use the ones that came with my ESL - X and since I use my speakers every night for watching TV I put them on before I go to bed. If you did not buy the speakers new, you can probably order a pair direct from Martin Logan and yes, they help extend the cleanliness of the speakers so vacuuming needs to be done less frequently.
Best regards.

I've gotten very nice covers for my Odysseys and Theos from Digital Deck:

I also use covers.
There are several covers in the market but most of them also cover the woofer cabinet which I think spoils the looks of the speaker.
I bought the following ones that only covers the panel.

The photos are actually of my own speakers, the seller didn't have any photos of the installed covers so I sent them mine.

Thanks for this link. I have 3 covers from this company for my Reel to Reels and they are very well made. This will be another purchase from them.

Thanks all! I did not acquire my speakers new, and therefore i did not receive some of the goodies, like manuals, boxes, and now i learn dustcovers as well. Sounds like i have a new task!
