Back in the 80's I had the Acoustat model three and drove them with a single Conrad Johnson (tube) MV 75A-1 and I used a Janus subwoofer,no longer made but some maybe around.
This was a nice sounding system,one of my favourites, but I moved on and went thru numerous stats and cones until I'm right back with a pair of 3 panel Acoustats, only this time with their own tubed servo amps.
I feel no need to use subs this time around.
The amps and speakers are fom the middle to late 1970's, the amps have been modded, but everything is left on,(standby)and no fear of fire etc.
If you are fearful,have a qualified service tech have alook at the Transformer/interfaces and if everything is fine, no problems, keep them plugged in and ready to go.
They sound much better when they've been powered up for awhile.
In case you grow tired of them and return to cones, just store the 1+1's, don't sell them.
You'll want to go back to them, so don't let them slip away.
