Its from a reviewFor many years I have been using Acoustat 2 + 2s and Acoustat Monitor IIIs as my primary reference speakers. Full-range electrostatic panels are employed in these crossoverless designs to cover the entire audible bandwidth. Multiple panels are used in the various models (four in the 2 + 2 and three in the Monitor III) to increase the bass, the efficiency and the dynamic range of the system.
I would not have stayed with the Acoustats for so long if it hadn’t been for the inspired design work of then-unknown Dan Fanny of American Hybrid Technology. Fanny was very familiar with Joe Curcio’s modifications to Acoustat’s original servo-charge direct-drive tube amplifiers and devoted considerable time and energy to improving this output-transformerless design to the point where its performance was truly prodigious. When the opportunity arose for me to buy one of his more advanced prototypes, I jumped at the chance and never looked back.
With the AHT servo-charge amps powering the Acoustats I was able to achieve levels of control, transparency and dynamics that were (and still are) virtually unattainable with ANY other amplifiers through even the most modified interfaces. The performance level of such a direct-driven Acoustat system will still surpass many contemporary high-end designs, other highly regarded electrostatics included. The reason I tell you this is to give you a frame of reference for the comparison I’m about to make -- the Eros System using conventional amplifiers to the AHT modified direct-driven Acoustat system.
