The last time I saw parts of this system on the auction site, the electrostatic speakers and the associated amp caught between $300 and $400. These are supposed to be legendary. Well worth the asking price.

 

[Guest158]

Kinda figured this is something good. I'm chompin at the bit,can't swing even $100 at moment. Darn darn darn

That is a very cool setup!

 

[Guest158]

WooHoo! Looks like I'll be going to pick this up after all!

 

[Guest158]

Got it!

Just unloaded it in garage - Neato! I now have some tubes & electrostats to play with.Needs some clean up and I need to figure out a poor mans variac. First ever CL buy- I think I did good.

 

[WattUsay]

You did GREAT!:yes::yes::yes:

instead of variac use the dim bulb method

 

[Guest158]

Yes I remember seeing something about the bulb method,have to do a search. Thanks.

I have that exact console, but unfortunately I don't have those speakers.

Thats an awesome find, I am just amazed that speakers that futuristic would have such a boring mohgany cabinet. Those are just amazing, please post some photos of the back of the amp and close up of the speakers, for sure a system no one else has.
