Apex PA88 Projects / Modules

At work I have a pile of boards that each have two Apex PA88 high voltage op-amps on them with heatsinks. these are rated for something like 450V and 100ma each. the boards were used to drive Piezo sensors so the are set up with a single ended input, One opamp inverting and one non inverting with a bridged output. power requirments would be +/- 200v up to 225v max. so they could output 400-450V P-P at 200ma! gain is set around 18-20db something like that but can easily be changed.
The Apex PA88 are crazy expensive new. so they have been hanging on to these old boards and have finally decided to let go of them. so I am curious if they would have any use for audio stuff? maybe for driving electrostatic panels directly? or as Tube drivers or. driving output transformers directly for testing or something. would there be any interest in them?

Here is what the boards look like.
