Check that all your system components are

Has a foreign substance (such as a household
cleaning chemical or soap) been applied to the

Popping and Ticking Sounds, Funny Noises
These occasional noises are harmless and will
not hurt your audio system or your speakers. All
electrostatic speakers are guilty of making odd
noises at one time or another. It is the result
of airborne contaminates (most notably dust).
Vacuuming is recommended.
These noises may be caused by dirt and
dust particles collecting on the speaker, by high
humidity.
Dirt and dust may need to be vacuumed off.
Please see the FAQ regarding vacuuming.

Poor Imaging
Check placement. Are both speakers the same
distance from the walls? Do they have the same
amount of toe-in? Try moving the speakers away
from the back and sidewalls.
Check the polarity of the speaker wires. Are
they connected properly?
Try switching the left speaker with the right.
Are your speakers set up in an L-shaped room? If
so, you may experience off-center imaging. Talk

options.
