I have the same speakers as well and the original panels sound just fine to me. If they sound good in your home the chances are they’ll sound good in the buyer’s home as well. I wouldn’t over analyze the situation. Put them up for sale and move on. The other options are, 1) pay an order of magnitude of what they’re worth and get new panels, or 2) take them to Goodwill and be done. Your choice your money.
Martin Logan Aerius I panel replacement
I have a pair of Martin Logan Aerius I speakers that I've owned since 1999. They sound great and I've never had a single problem with them. I'm a non-smoker who mostly listens to classical and jazz at moderate levels, using good quality electronics. Due to life-changes (marriage and a new listening space) I've decided to sell them to get a smaller speaker.
My question is, if I've not had to replace the panels, is there any reason to think they are about to go? I read that they are supposed to only last 15 years or so, but is that really true? I just don't want to sell a potential dud to some unsuspecting person.
Curious to hear from people who are still listening to their Martin Logans with original panels.
Thanks!
