Extra Info: I need to face reality and accept I'm never going to have the time to finish this project, so I may as well let someone else enjoy it. The Acoustat speakers originally have 8 panels per side. 4 of them have been removed and sold in preparation for building the "Best Speakers in the World", as per this thread

As they stand, they still function perfectly and to be honest, I can't hear a huge difference without the other panels. Power supply, frames, stands and transformers are all there and functioning. I also have assorted brochures and paperwork to go with them. I won't carry on about the sound here, suffice to say once you've heard these, you'll find it hard to go back to other speakers. The Roger Modjeski Amplifier is still with Roger in America. It can be shipped immediately it's needed.
So there you go, a state of the art system as it stands, that can be made into a world beater with basically labour only. That stage of the project should not be undertaken lightly though. You're dealing with potentially lethal voltages here (4000v upwards) so, unless you're thoroughly familiar with something like this, don't attempt it. Pay someone else and reap the benefits.
Also, be aware these speakers are just on 8 feet tall, and about 2 feet wide. So you'll need a decent sized room for them.

There's plenty of information both here, and on Roger Modjeskis forum regarding this project and I'm happy for anyone here to chime in on this thread, with advice or opinions if they've heard Steve's System or Rab's.
