Well, I held off as long as I could, but what the heck - why not jump into the Bose 901 fray. I am a former owner of a pair of 901's, purchased in the early 70's. When I got them, I loved them, and loved to defend them with passion against the attacks (comb filters, muddy sound, etc. etc.). Ready to move up, I sold them last night to a guy from csu, and dragged up an old pair of Dynaco A-25's that have been doing service in the basement at parties, etc. Put on pf's Wish You Were Here (CD, Yamaha CDX-1), and couldn't believe my ears. The Dynacos had a clarity and inner detail that were immediately and obviously noticeable. Images were much more solid, and the sound stage was *THERE*. I must admit, the old Boses sure could handle the power, and they sound good when you 'crank it up.' Anyway, what an eye-opener. Now for a question. Has anyone out there had experience with Acoustat speakers? I am interested in the entire line. Prices, reliablilty, amplifier compatibility, etc. Reply via net mail, and I will summarize. V. Heuring

[] Acoustat died last spring. Their assets (not patents) were purchased by the David Hafler Corp. Too bad. I hear they were doing some interresting research in electrostats and about to make a breakthrough. I'd be hard pressed to recommend their used gear knowing that service would be tricky.

[] But Hafler put Acoustat right back in business. In fact they are in the mags with some kind of improved transformer upgrade for owners of older stuff. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg
