I found this ion generator kit on eBay

The output looks adjustable. Any reason why this wouldn't work? Buying this as a kit would be very convenient for me..

for the most part (most of the time) the air in your home is positively charged. This means that a positive supply to your diaphragms will help repel your rooms air and any contaminants in it. This will help to keep your diaphragms cleaner and minimise the amount of potentially conductive build up on your skins that will eventually lead to some bleed from the conductive section of the diaphragm to the frame. As a note all of Jim Strickland's (Acoustat) high voltage supplies were positive. Charge potential has no impact on the panels performance as far as I know. But if you can run positive it is probably woth your while. Regards.

should be possible...
looks like a very nice supply. Remember too if your budget is tight that you only need one supply to charge both panels. This does mean that you would have to run a supply wire to each speaker but makes for a 50% cost saving. Let us know how it works out for you and what kind of voltages you can get off of this supply.

BTW. When you turn the power source off does it still hold a HV charge?
Looks very neat.
Yes that is indeed a small spark!
As for it retaining HV, it seems to. If I put a screwdriver onto the output after turning it off I get a small click. The capacitors certainly retain a charge as my poor finger found out!

I found that when I used to use a positive voltage on the diaphragm, the copper tape that carried the charge corroded, similar to the way that a car battery's positive terminal corrodes. When I switched to negative charge on the diaphragms, the corrosion ceased to be a problem.
Dust covers are the best solution to keeping drivers clean. They also keep out bugs.
