RE: Premature judgement

I measured the speakers when all this started. From stators to screen the resistance is infinite. There is 1.5nF of capacitance from one stator across to the other, and as one would expect, there is about 3nF of capacitance between each stator and the screen. I bought some 6kV rated, 3nF capacitors off eBay with the idea to create a dummy load (inside an insulated box, of course). I'm a little afraid of trying that, however. Two caps in series where the stators connect at each end of the chain, and the screen attaches to the junction between the two capacitors. (On these speakers, the screen is low impedance and held at zero potential and is driven by signal voltage.) Each stator is at +/-3200V and also driven by signal voltage.
