My first stereo was a Heathkit... granted it was one my uncle built... then he grew up and got a pair of real electrostat's (not those wanna-be magnaplanars) and connected them to a pair of monoblocks he modified to be able to push the down-to-1ohm electrostats. the first time I heard them was the first time I heard "Jazz at the Pawn Shop", on the DAC he designed, up to then I never knew CD's could sound that good. <snip> > Here's the kicker: That 2" driver inside the cubes is made in China.
