Help with Sequel II wiring

[desmarteau]

Hi All. I'm new to the forum and a new ML owner. I recently purchased older ML Sequel II's. They seem to work fine when they have jumpers on place (both Electrostatic Panels and cabinet speakers work in both of them) and their wired to one channel each on my apm. When I try to wire each speaker to a separate channel (one channel on the woofer and one on the electrostatic panels), one of my electrostatic panels doesn't work. I shows up as a "red" shorted/non existing light on my OSD 7 channel amp. do you have any idea why that would be happening? I've switched many cables/speakers so I know the cabling and amp isn't the problem. I even tried switching the Sequel 2 electronics and it only happens on one speaker (the same one). Hopefully I'm explaining this well enough that it makes sense. Thank you. Jay

And it shows a red light on all 7 channels when you try the ESL alone? So the amp's fault-checker is over-cautious about the weird ESL load? Try adding a 1 Ohm power resistor inline or try using the wimpiest cables you have there.

thanks tosh for responding. The only channel with the red light on the amp is the one connected to the electrostatic panel of my "left" sequel II. The woofer on that left sequel II is blue (and works). The right Sequel II has 2 blue lights for the electrostatic panel and woofer...both work. If i install the jumpers the on the left one it works fine from the woofer and the electrostatic panel. strange.

I've used monster cable speaker wire, as well as 14 gauge...doesn't make a difference. Not sure how to add an inline resister
