Calling all electrostatic speaker owners

What are the sonic symptoms of a dusty electrostatic panel? Is vacuuming the best cleaning method?

Thanks.

Vacume it once or twice a year using the soft brush attachment. Cigarett smoke will give them perma-funk that won't come off. Good luck!

My speakers are ML Aeon i, about 3 years old. I live in a first floor apartment, over the leasing office. The UPS / FedEx / Comcast / etc diesel trucks park every day with idling engines, and since I leave my windows open most of the time, the apartment is fairly dusty. Dry northern California summers contribute to this also. I have definitely noticed reduced output for a given volume input, as well as a loss of clarity in higher frequencies. Looks like it's time to break out the vacuum cleaner.
