Yes sir...I should say that I liked them compared to the other speakers I was listening to way back then. I haven't heard them in over 35 years, so I can't say if they aged well...or not.KEF 207s / Coda Continuum / SST Thoebe II / Oppo BDP-105D / Technics SP-15 w/SAEC WE-308SX & Ortofon AS-309 arms / Ikeda 9C2 & Dynavector XX2 Mk II carts -

This actually tested fairly well and the overall esthetics isn't bad, I bet you can find them cheaply priced. -

It kind of reminds me of those mockup components you see on shelves in furniture stores.

He (Alex Shackman) also sold the electrostatic panels separately as a kit for DIY "ädd your own woofer" applications. I went to his store and was lectured to about sibilance (seemingly) being the scourge of mankind, I bought a pair and grafted them on to some cheapo KLH two ways I had. The combination sounded really rather good. I brought them with me when I moved to the colonies, but one of the panels died shortly afterward, and I discovered so, also, had Mr Shackman. -

I'm curious about this amplifier, I know William Z. Johnson (founder of Audio Research) had a store in Minneapolis and eventually worked for and then bought the Peploe Electronics company. I wonder if Goodell was involved somehow in the early audio scene.
