Having not seen any info on it I was leary about it, and at a price of $500 it is clearly a rip off from what I gather.

ESS was an electrostatic loudspeaker company back then, but discontinued their use when they introduced the Heil Air Motion Transformer. An amp that old is going to require electrolytic capacitor replacement.

I've never heard of the ESS Eclipse 500 though. The Innersound is considered the best amp for stats by many btw.
