Hello AK,
This has been discussed before by other members in similar situations, but I felt that due to the rarity of these speakers and the number of differences between varying serial numbers, a separate post might better help others in the future.

Hello -
I'm a longtime reader, but this is my very first post... please bare with me as I'm a beginner.
I just picked up a pair of what I believe to be Bozak B-302a's that have been modified - the original mid driver and tweeters had been removed, and replaced with a JansZen 65 in each of the...
Hey Everybody!
Long time reader, first time poster here.
Recently I had the good fortune of winning some Janszen Z-300’s at an auction. One of them works well....sounds FANTASTIC... The other has no life coming from the electrostats.
I’ve replaced the power caps, a pot, the rectifier (with...
Over the past couple of weeks I've had very good luck with speakers. First off, I found a pair of Realistic Mach ones, gave 'em a shot ($40, couldn't say no) and they were alright.
Party speakers for sure. Glad to have 'em in my collection.
Second, I grabbed a pair of Janszen Z2- CF, my first...
Just picked these up today. Unfortunately they came untested, so I was a bit stressed out by the time I was hooking them up. Fortunately one fired right up and sounds wonderful (my first experience with electrostatics). The other makes no sound when attached and plugged in.
Wondering where I...
I bought a couple of used JansZen Dynamic speakers at an estate sale recently. I didn't know much about JansZen, but I did know that they have a pretty good name and given the current speakers I am using, it wouldn't take much for an upgrade. I did not get a chance to look them over before...
Hi everyone. I recently acquired a nice pair of Janszen model z40 electrostatic hybrid speakers. These were made in 1974.
They actually retailed for a whopping $4000 in 1974 according to several different sources. This roughly equates to $21,000 if you factor in inflation. There is...
A user on one of my Facebook stereo forums was selling his father's Janszens. They had not been used for at least a decade and he couldn't guarantee they were still operational but I decided to take a chance. Getting them to my 3rd floor apartment took some effort: they made them heavy in the...
I've been refurbishing some speakers the last few months, including my old Paisley AE500, Polk Audio A100, and most recently Janszen Z600 (pictured). The Polk Audio and Janszen were given to me free of charge.
One question I had was, I noticed the driver on one was breaking up a bit...
Hi All,
I'm new to AudioKarma and have just started to build a "small system" , yes I have heard of the slippery slope and with blinders on I forge ahead.
My current system is:
Reciever-Kenwood KR-7600, I like this integrated, but have a gut feeling that it might be in need of a better...
I'm not sure which forum is best for this question. Thought I'd give the DIY group a shot. I came across three Janszen electrostatic panels and would like to test to see if they are in working order. Does anyone know how best to test these? Should good panels rear a certain resistance?
Thanks-
