For the Beveridge models 2 and 2SW a direct-coupled amplifier is situated in the base of the gigantic speaker(s). No coupling capacitors OR transformer, driving a totally unique take on ESL, not really an ESL as we know it because the diaphragm does not carry a bias voltage; it's at ground reference. Which is maybe why after nearly 40s years my 2SWs still sound divine. (Knocking on wood.) I've owned the 2SWs for about 6-7 years now, but the amplifiers are dated inside, "1979".
Other later models of Beveridge speakers (models 3 and up) are much more like conventional ESL speakers and require an outboard amplifier.
