JansZen speakers

[EVBoy]

I just bought a pair of JansZen electrostatic speakers at a thrift store. Does anyone know anything about them? They sound great! I would appreciate any help you could give me.

What model? I may have some info.

They are model Z-500.

These predate my information and are from the Neshaminy (sp?) days. Art was ties in with Neshaminy to make the woofer to match into the type I tweeter and was in a infinite baffle enclosure. This was during the days when he was selling the tweeters to add on to the AR-1 and 3, packaging the tweeters for the KLH Model 1 and working with KLH on the Model Nine. With the introduction of the type II tweeter Neshaminy stopped production of the systems for Art and he set up JansZen a speaker company. You may want to check the ESL network on the web. May have some information.

Each speaker has an 11" woofer and a 5 1/2" square electrostatic tweeter mounted horizontally in a "V" shaped enclosure.
