B&W DM70's - top end lacking


I have a pair of DM70’s.
They sound really good with vocal, blues and opera.
The bass is overblown with complex orchestral or progressive.

I am already replacing the bass units with Leak sandwich, as I found that the original units had not been repaired correctly.
They had some sort of home made surround made of thick paper with a 12 inch foam surround stuck on top.
The leaks seem to solve some of the bass issues.
I will get the bass units professionally repaired at some point.

Now to the treble units.
The mid and lower treble seems great, but things like symbols seem muted.
I was told that the electrostatic units had been repaired by One Thing, but now I am not so sure.

I am driving them with an Art Audio Quintet fed from a Conrad Johnson PV9a pre.
My CD is a Unison Unico and I am using a Focus One turntable just now.
Cables are from Chord. (Yes they do help a bit)

These are frustrating speakers, as when at their best, they sound so good.
First I need to know what to expect (especially from the treble).
Then I need to know how to fix any issues.

Sometimes they sound so so good and other times . . .

Assuming the DM70 ESL panels themselves are good.
Another reason for the lack of ESL Panel output could be related to the 3- 800m ohm resistors in the EHT power supply, whose values may have drifted much higher and are preventing the panel from being charged properly.
Carbon resistors values have a tendency to drift higher over time and those are Carbon resistors - in the Panels power supply.

A megaohmeter is required to test them. They can be bought for cheap at Amazon.
