Active electrostatics?

Pretty cool. Like the stone bases

Reminds me of Audiostatic speakers and if I remember correctly they were also from the Nederlands. Same company?

Yeah, but I could see myself kicking or tripping over those tubes at the base... or worse yet, the cat finding a cozy place to keep warm...  :duh

19,000 Euro, not the same price point as the Audiostatic's for sure

30-35 years ago I had a friend who had Acoustats with the servo amps. The amps were a combo of IC chip/ss and tubes. He wanted me to design an all tube amp for them. I kick myself to this day for not designing them and performing a comparison.

His system was pretty good, but from memory.
