Anyone in GAS running electrostatics?

I have a pair of original Innersound Eros, Adrian has Martin Logan Monoliths and another set of ML with 10" woofers (can't remember the name) and bpape has a cool pair of Acoustat Monitors which are huge squarish panels on a pedestal driven directly by the acoustat tube amps. Maybe he'll chime in and give us the proper model number. I know he had the amps modded, but I haven't heard them since the update.

Anyone else with stats?????

Mike Missel has a pair of Soundlabs.

Ok, where are they? The Magnepans. I contacted Wendell Diller a few months back inquiring about becoming a dealer and he said that he already signed someone in St. Louis. Has anyone heard something about this?

It might be either St Louis Stereo or Wylie at The Speaker & Stereo Store.

Flip's was a Magnepan dealer back in the day. It would be nice to see them in our market again.

I'll call Wendell back. Maybe things have changed.

Uh? Magnapans? Last time I checked none of their models were electrostatics, and haven't been AFAIK. All of their drivers were either the classic wire on the mylar in front of magnets or variations of a ribbon tweeter.

Ken, fair enough.
I actually thought of that when I posted my statement/question but figured someone was watching. Guess I'm just hijacking then.

Mitsu,
I'm trying to get it together. That is my long range goal but financing right now is hard to come by. So it will be baby steps. Should have a demo/display location in October.
As far as a linecard, that is still in flux too. Manufacturers want you to have a storefront. Understood. Also, they want to see who else you have and are working with. So I'm still looking for the anchor that will pull it all together. Open for suggestions too.
