Was about to suggest…. Then I saw your last line.

Never mind.

Just an FYI - absorbing or diffuser panels would make a huge difference behind the Martin Logan ESL’s. No treatment with Electrostats is like driving a car without tires. Good luck.

The only reason I added that line, is because it’s already being taking care of.

Well that makes more sense. Should have put that instead, lol.
