[Electrothaumaturgist]

Have any of you played around with any Acoustat equipment? My brother has a pair of 3 1/2" X 6' tall black monuments here in the living room. Has a mammoth amp, pre amp and interfaces, with a Denon turntable. He worked for the company for 13 years, and assembled these speakers. He wants me to go through all of the units, but I know it'll get REAL pricey, looking at some of those high voltage/uf caps in there, and not to mention difficult (if not impossible) to get schematics for these non production-run units. These type electrostatic speakers were reputed to have extremely low distortion and db/W*m efficiency.  They scare me to death...
