I had some Janzens back in the 80's they were beautiful speakers once you have heard stas you wont forget the sound,I always thought that they held the sound in place till it had staced itself like a ribbon flowing and then released it giving a sort of dimensional impression.
The Quads are very nice specialy the ones you have,57's and 63's are sought after.Paneels are still pretty abundant just need to find the right deal.when you finsh them if you can do a review ,would be nice. Good Luck!!

Here's what I've been busy doing. These things are a whole bunch of fun. There is a total of 16 stators between the two speakers. Unfortunately, all the diaphragms needed to be removed to properly reglue the stators to their support structures. I'm ordering the Mylar diaphragm film, conductive coating and diaphragm glue from Sweden or Austrailia. I'll then need to tension the mylar to a specific tension and glue it to the stator and then apply the conductive coating and reassemble the two stator halves. Then repeat 8 times. I'll probably test each assembled panel/element as I go. Once everything is set, I'll be making about 70 well rounded solder connections on the high voltage lines. None of this is particularly difficult, but it is time consuming and demands cleanliness.
The stator support structure that is glued to the stators to provide rigidity. The old glue must be completely removed. I used a chisel blade on an Xacto #5 to scrape it away and then used solvents to remove any residue.   A Stator showing the failed glue lines. I removed the glue with a Nylon prybar/chisel tool and laquer thinner on a cotton ball without damaging the substrate. Oops, the glue is on the opposite (green) side. Here your looking through the Nylon covering on the side facing the diaphragm.  A stator being reglued to its support structure with 3M Polyurethane Marine Adhesive. I really like this adhesive because it has a long open time and is easier to work with than epoxy.

Looks like fun. Heard some home made electrostats way back in my twenties and the KLH9s at AKFEST 07.. Ther is nothing quite like the airyness of electrostats

I have a set of Magnepan MG1s in need of new mylar and wire grids.
Maybe someday.............. Dave
