So, last night I picked up a pile of gear including a pair of Innersound Electrostatic speakers. After trying to solve a problem with the preamp and being unsuccessfull, I move on the the sunfire. While checking the right channel (which works Tom) I notice a buzz in the right speaker. I assume it's the metal cover, so I brace the front with my hand (no luck). I try to brack the back while my other hand is resting on the speakers and AAAAAAAAAAAAA. I find myself in the basement alone at 12:15 AM being shocked by a speaker and unable to let go. Finally my muscles convulsed enough to throw me from the thing, but I am typing with only my index on my right hand due to blisters.
Anyway, who wants a pair of really eye-opening speakers?
-
So what is the deal with the Sunfire??? Mikey may need one.
-
It's going to Tommy
-
What model Sunfire is it?
-
Not sure. There is no model # on it, but I'm 99% sure it's the 600-2. The meter goes to 500 joules.
BTW I think it's funny that I post about almost dying and all the responses are about the amp.
-
Sorry...I did not read your full post. Skimed it for info on the Sunfire. If the meter goes to 500 it is a 600 wpc version. Nice score!
-
That sucks you got zapped and the speakers didn't work out for you. Sounds like you made out otherwise though :o
-
Can we call you Sparky now? Glad you are OK! Isn't electricity fun. :P What is the problem with the pre? Post some pics of the complete speaker system from hell.
-
The pre is humming on both channels. I'm probably going to drop it off at Atlas tomorrow unless it's something you think you could fix.
-
I would wait. Let me find a service manual.
-
evil electrostats are GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Tom, if you want to look for the preamp service manual the model number is LS9

This may be the quote of the year. :-*

Do NOT take that AR to atlas........
Let Tommy or I, or anybody else check it first...
-
Oh Yeah, sorry you were almost toast. :o
-
Holy cow Ed, I'm glad you're ok.
Its a good thing Little Eddie wasn't around!
-
Nothing scarier than being "hooked" to electricity!!! Glad you're OK!!!!
-
Good thing you are Okay. Hopefully you get better.

I'm glad you're okay Ed. That must have been scary!!! :o
I have heard a couple different sets of Innersound speakers. With an active crossover and proper amplification Innersounds are magical. I like their sound better than comparable Martin Logan models.

Glad to hear you survived. If the sticker shock doesn't kill you .... the damn speakers will!!!!! 8)
