Anyone else have a dust problem?

Spin, yes stators don't like dust for sure. If it makes you feel better I know of an ML owner who vacuums his ESL's every day to keep them dust-free, but he is pretty fussy. Those covers look like a good option for high dust areas where you only listen to music occasionally. I think they would drive me batty however if I were listening to music and/or watching dvd's regularly.

I vacuum my house & do general dusting once, and sometimes twice a week religiously which keeps dust at bay. I don't use any covers in my system, however I do place a cotton cloth over the top drawer of my cdp to keep dust away from the transport.

When I did own Martin Logan electrostatics, I used my vacuum and the soft brush head attachment to clean the fronts and rear. I had a 5.1 surround system so it was a chore. Maybe once a month. You only need to disassemble them, and wash them if you hear the high frequencies start to drop off. It's amazing over the years, the OCD I carried with me is now I really don't care. Feels so good to finally allow the "stick fall out of my ass"! ;)
