@elliottbnewcombjr - The room is roughly 16 x 28...and thank for the link to the Acoustat article.

I got started by listening to Spica TC-50s that I purchased in the mid-80s from a shop called Opus One in Pittsburgh. When I finally head electrostatics for the first time, I was hooked.

The Acoustats seem fine after all of these years. They were put away in custom boxes. One of the transformers has a loose part on one of the boards. I suspect when I have it checked out, it'll be fine. The CLSs are a different story. One speaker, which has a replaced panel, isn't coming on. So, I need to recheck the connections. As it stands, I dusted off my trusty old Boston Acoustics and those are what I'm listening to now.
It may be time to look for something new. Quads ESLs in some form are at the top of my list.
The wife surprised with with an Eversolo DMP A8 all-in-one streamer/DAC/preamp. So convenient. At under $2000, it's a bargain. After living with it for a few days, it's making me rethink my priorities with regard to the order that I build my system. (I say this as I look over the top of my monitor at the 10 or so boxes of vinyl shipments that I received from Acoustic Sounds and Blue Note over the past few months.) I'll still purchase a turntable and continue to purchase more records (I like looking at the boxes), but I suspect new speakers will come first followed by a second vk-60, a preamp, then I'll get a turntable. . .and I forgot to mention that I spontaneously purchased a Revox B77 Hi-Speed Reel-to-Reel just because I've always wanted one. It's price and condition were right. I couldn't resist. I also still need an equipment rack or furniture instead of the cardboard box that I use now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XjLdflpd1BFl4t44qTUYbQJ6Lx622uiU/view?usp=drive_link.
