For $1000 and rental of a truck in California, you could cart home what may be the greatest ESL speakers ever made. Then you could modify the panels, the power supply, or the transformers to your hearts content. BTW, if you've got the watts, they've got the dBs*.

After you've seen the DW construction, all the other brands of history that I've ever seen look like they came out of somebody's garage workshop.
I have no financial or personal connection to these units what so ever.

*with the ESLs playing the bulk of the sound 110-8K Hz, my system in a smallish room goes to 100dBC, with a few hundred Class G watts. Not my usual level for say a Brandenburg Concerto, but a hoot now and then for Hovhaness' Mount St. Helens Symphony.

It was hearing Dayton-Wrights back in the 70s that turned me into a stat enthusiast. They were the earlier XG-8 MKIs owned by an audio reviewer driven by either a Yamaha B-1 or an Ampzilla.
