      My understanding is that a high voltage is maintained across the stators; would this ultimately result in the breakdown of the membrane?
      I have the speakers plugged into wall outlets via remote controlled switches

      My habit is to turn on the system (cd player, preamp, amp , speakers) remotely ( they are all connected to a couple of powestrips in turn plugged into a couple of wall outlets) only when listening

      On weekends that may mean turning the whole system on and off 3-4 times!
      I’m wondering if the stress on the electronics of turning the system on repeatedly can damage the components over the long term

      When the left side amp powers on I do hear a soft thump from the left speaker; incidentally the left backplate had to have the bias replaced last year

        Yes I did!
        I had to move backplates to find out that the problem was with a backplate, not the panel; much harder to ship the panel!
        Shipped it out to Soundlab, found out it was the bias gone bad
        I now have the backplate back and my system has never sounded better
        Total cost with 2 way shipping : about $ 450
        and a little over a month without hearing my beloved speakers

          Malfuncitioning Backplate was received @ Soundlab in Gunnison,UT on 9/25/19.
          Awaiting analysis of the problem
          Will post as soon as I hear anything

            I exchanged the fuses to no avail thus excluding that as the problem
            Next I exchanged the backplates : the problem followed a backplate. So I have a backplate gone bad
            I’m a bit surprised; I assumed the panels were the weakest link!
            I believe I have the PX due to the manufacture in 2011
            I have contacted Dr West and await further instructions from him. I assume he will want me to ship the faulty backpanel to the factory.

            I do appreciate your help and will keep you posted!

              I’m located in McAllen TX, a border town!
              Re the fuses : are you referring to the glass cylinders in the screw cap enclosures on the top of the back plates? I switched them with no effect. Are they even fuses : they are glass cylinders with a metal cap on each end but I would expect to see a fuse wire down the middle but the cylinders are both empty; do the functioning fuses lie inside the back plates?

              I think your idea of switching the back plates is very good, I hope to try it out on the next day or two as soon as I’m able to
