Back in the early 70s, when I met our mutual friend TL, I owned a double pair of KLH9s, too. AND I owned Lucius' last pair of his home-made Futterman monoblocks, with eight 6LF6s per side. AND I lived in Reston for one of those years and also experienced soggy diaphragms on the odd occasion. I kept up with Lucius for quite a while, but I have not seen or heard from him for at least the last 10 years, probably more. He never gave up on ESLs; he was a major US dealer for Audiostatic, and I once went to his home to listen to their all-out system. But Lucius did give up on tubes and OTLs; he was running the Audiostatics with huge and heavy NRG solid state amps, built in the midwest, now defunct. However, he used to admit to me privately that OTLs were still the ultimate way to go. I have been in and out of KLH9s several times over the 40 years since Reston.
