I would like to buy some speakers that are fairly inexpensive (under $350/pr)
and that sound as nearly as possible like the Acoustat 2 or the Quad ESL.
These two are full range electrostatic speakers that to me have very
good imaging with solo vocalists, and have a 'bright, precise' sound.
They have very low measured distortion, particularly over 1000 Hz.

I have heard some 10 year old Janzen Z-410 's that I liked quite well
(ever see any available used?).  These have  4  5" electrostatic panels
and a 12" conventional woofer.  They are "large bookshelf".  I believe
Janzen was later renamed Soundcraftsman.  (Unrelated to the speaker
company: Jensen).

Does anyone know of anything available, new or used, like this?
