That is great!
I also planning something similar.
I will be on leave for some days.
I must to complete my UGS UP power amplifiers, amongst other projects.
One of them has been working for weeks.
(Except speaker protection.)
If I can, I will visit Mr. Ottó Popori at city of Baja.
I was there two times to listen his exceptional electrostatic speakers, driven by my diy Sony VFET and J2 amplifiers.
We were quite happy with the results.
But I think UGS UP will be a mutch better match to these wonderful speakers:

Got my 1st Pfizer in mid-Feb, 2nd in March. The first one made my shoulder sore for a bit. The second one made the shoulder hurt worse, then about a day in just as I was starting to feel smug, I stated to come down with some flu-like symptoms. As a result, I ended up having to do a radio show feeling like crap. A night's sleep fixed most of that.

Are those the legendary Moth speakers on the left???

They are indeed. Quite the listening experience with the Aleph J. Also listened with Elekit TU-8800. dB was kind enough to bring along several different speakers to sample.

Ha! They’re just visiting for now. :). Eventually they’ll go home. But now I have some inspiration for my own speaker builds. The TARAQ with the 4” Mark Audio drivers are unlike anything I’ve experienced. Shocked, I was!
The Selah Veritas… well… there are no words for the RAAL tweeters. <drool/>

Speaking of moths, while working in the yard a few weeks ago, I found a chrysalis and put it in a jar for my grandson to observe. On the one day he was at home and not here, the darned thing emerged! At least I got a video of it being released in the front yard for him to see. :)

Tomorrow my wife and me will have our second Pfzizer and we have both Ehers-Danlos Syndrome: it is a risk for us but Covid would be more risky... :xfingers:

I did find that with the Moths and the TARAQs (Mark Audio) that you really had to give them the berries to bring out their best. Played at low volumes, you don't really exploit their capabilities (in my limited observation). It took a bit of extra turn on the volume knob and they both really shined. Moth Cicadas sounded best on the TU8800. Aleph J was good, but pure tube really worked nicely with them.
