Thanks for posting. The back of each speaker has only 2 posts for connection. Is there a separate step/up/down amplifier needed to power them? I can't use a regular stereo amp?

Still spinnin'...

Step up transformers are used to generate the high voltage bias.
Electrostats tend to pose a more demanding load than most, but regular amps work just fine.
I use an Emotiva amp in the HT driving Acoustats and VTL tube amps in the main system driving the Sound Labs.
In other words, they're built to take a normal amplifier output (like the Quad ESLs, e.g.).
As others have said, well worth some investigation, time & effort. Not junk. Not at all. :-)
all the best,

Maybe I should approach someone who can tell me.
Thanks!
or much of anything for that matter.
all the best,
mrh
