Hello!
I'm going to pick up some Acoustat M3s (I think they are M3s, not 100% sure of the model) from someone's garage tomorrow. Don't know much about the condition except I was told they work. Looking forward to checking them out. I've always wanted to play with some electrocstatics. Do folks think these are a good speaker, and what do I need to know about them?
How should they be transported? I was planning to remove the assembly from the back and stack them flat on a piece of plywood.
I am planning to power them from a McIntosh MC2105, does this seem like a good choice? It has a 4 ohm output stage.
Thanks for any advice!

Slowly lower and raise them to avoid panels rupturingt. Be ready to rebuild the interfaces: new HV diodes and capacitors, and 500 Meg resistor. Not expensive, but makes a big difference in the efficiency at this age. Also look for the “C” mod instructions in the Acoustat thread on DiyAudio
Thanks! Can you point me to more info on repairing the interfaces? Should I not run them until that is done?
