I have a pair of Martin Logan Ascent i electrostatic speakers. Since I purchased them I have had them bi wired to two Crimson 630C mono block amplifiers. Recently I got my hands on another two 630C's and decided to try bi amping them.
Everything works fine but I have an issue when I switch off the power amps that I have not experienced before. After about 30 seconds I get a series of four or five clicks about a second apart, through the Electrostatic panels. I have swapped amps around and the issue only occurs on the High Frequency electrostatic panels. If I revert to previous bi wiring to single amp the problem goes away. The clicks are not particularly loud but I am concerned that they might cause damage to the panels in the long run.
My current solution is to switch off power amps then immediately remove one of the speaker wires attached to the electrostatic panels at the speaker post. After around one minute I re-attach the wire to the speaker post.
Any ideas on a better solution
thanks
