We can play with that. Just have to fix my crackling one first.
Sure thing. I changed the "No Bias" curve to dashed so it can be seen on top of the "With Bias"
Really? I always thought the pastic helped damp resonances. Steel must ring like a bell!

I am a complete noob when it comes to Quad ESLs, so this question may be silly, but: why not drive the estat panel directly from a high-voltage amplifier instead of going through a transformer?
You missed an essential word: WITH.
That makes all the difference. Different from all steel. It's a hybrid with steel.
Ahh, that sounds better. So the steel is there to make the frame sturdier.
I'm building a vibration sensor, curious what is going on in that frame and the other bits and pieces.

It makes a sturdier bottom and top plate. The sides is a different matter.
My change to long, metric thread connections of the top/bottom to the sides were intended to increase the connection strength between the two. Not sure how much it matters, but it seems better now. My top and bottom plates are 3D printed reinforced ABS. And in my ESL 31.5 design the top/bottom plates are only 400mm wide so there's less flex anyway. We'll see.
But I really want to measure if there is a change, and to what effect.

If I get this correctly, the amps are separate from the speakers. In other words, you have some cables running from the amp through your living room to the speakers, and these cables carry several thousand volts. You don't have pets, do you?
