I received replacement panel but I am going to troubleshoot with Roberto first before replacing . I just have not had time to do anything. I have been out of town hopefully soon I can get to it. Will update later on.
If all goes well with this center do you guys think a pair of scripts on wall as mains would work with this center ?
Or what will ? How about two older cinemas logos etc.. Centers . Would those work as mains wall mounted in vertical position. Is my only real option 2 more stages?

Ok thanks. So you think sonically they will blend well with the stage?
I don't see why they wouldn't blend. It would be nice to have a listen before buying but that's not aways possible. If you buy some Scripts and the match didn't suit you, you could always sell them for virtually what you pay for them - it's worth a try.

Ok guys this is very disappointing I replaced the panel and nothing there is still distortion 
but I was expecting that would be the case since Roberto and Khenegar had already told me it wouldn't be the panel . I don't want to give up on this center but return date is getting close . I am gonna contact Scott tomorrow . I now know that the toroidal power transformer is the problem.

No...the internal high voltage PSU. Ask Scott about it. Happy listening!

Ok I sent speaker in to be repaired. We shall see what happens.
A question about the scripts. They seem to be rather old now I know there is the newer model but the price is right on the older ones. But since they are so old is it risky buying a pair ? And What kind of track record/panel lifespan do they have ?

There is a pair of Scripts for sale on that #Bay site. A dealer says they were going to be demos in the past and never were used. He is asking $798. That would be a great price if they are unused

Yeah I saw those I am just concerned about the age of these speakers since they are electrostatic speakers. If they were conventional speakers I wouldn't be so concerned.
Not sure if that's a valid concern?

Still waiting to get back my center . But I purchased a pair of scripts that should be here by Thursday . Any recommendations on how to install them ? How high off ground ? What area on speaker should be at ear level etc..
For now they will be my mains up front . Due to the space I need to stick with on walls. Also are they real power hungry speakers ?

Hola Joe. Use a heavy thick speaker wire, not less No. 12 gage. Happy listening!
You should place them the same as other ML panels.
Your ear should be at the center of the panel.
If they need to be above or below your ear adjust the angle so your ear is at the middle and the same distance from the top and bottom of the panel.

Stage should be here by Wednesday I have a pair of scripts that I have wall mounted waiting to accompany it . The scripts have given me a little trouble to setup but for now I have them sounding pretty good. I need a stronger amp to push them better.
