It's been over a year since I've been back in France. Old stone house, cold in Winter, cool in Summer but no obvious signs of damp indoors.
First things first - I switched the power back on and fired up the '57s. Nothing else. After about half an hour (?) I thought I could hear a hornet in its death throes - they're relatively quiet towards the end. But instead it's the right hand ESL. If memory serves, only the left one has had a replacement HT board recently.
Questions: Is it on its way out or could it settle down?
It would be inaudible with music playing - but could that damage the speaker further, or the amp?
Should I switch off straight away and make do with the cheapo Focals?
I think I've just talked myself into the last option, but any helpful observations welcome.
