Electric feedback from water circulation pump
I’d suggest you explore an accumulation tank that you can fill with pressurized water so your pump runs less frequently.   This is a very inexpensive solution that will decrease your electrical bill and increase the life of your pump. 
Amps with meters ...
Back in the early 80’s I owned a Phase Linear 700mkII which had the coolest looking meters I’ve ever owned.   While I think meters look great, they actually do not represent any facet of music I care about.   It is sound first and cosmetics second... 
Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr
Mike,I don't want to hijack the thread.   Yup, the panels are curved like the ML’s.    The total speaker height is 75-3/4” and the panels are approx 13” wide by 65-1/4” tall.thanks. 
Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr
I have a pair of XStatic EC/X full range electrostatic speakers paired with Klipsch 112SW subs (the subs are OK, but the weak link here).   These are all powered by my PrimaLuna HP integrated tube amp.  Sources are all high-res digital.    At 34W ...

Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s
I too was late to the power cable game.  A few months ago, I splurged on some Mark Tunis Stealth power cables and the difference is absolutely stunning.   It is not subtle.   Much more bass, tight, well defined, and dynamic too.   Much airier miss... 
My Triad of Integrateds
Interestingly absent are Krell, Musical Fidelity, BAT, Plinius, PrimaLuna, Parasound, and Nord.   I’m looking for a high quality <$5k used integrated with HT bypass and subwoofer out; these were the brands I’ve come across...   Of these the Nor... 
Do I need a new amp?
Anyone familiar with Nord Acoustics out of England?   I've neve heard their equipment, but the specs, price, and the exchange I've had with Colin, their MD is quite impressive.

Tuberist, excellent suggestion!  What’s the best recorded version of Bumpin? 
Most “disappeared” speakers.
I second georgehifi’s comments on Audio Physics and ESL’s.   I own ESL (X-Static) and the only other speaker I’ve heard that comes close and is musical is the Audio Physic Tempo Plus.Also, agree that the room, placement, equipment, cabling, source...

Hello hello All,My apologies for going dark.   My Dad passed away a few weeks ago and I’ve been out of the loop for a bit.    Thank you for your thinking and contributions.A few more questions to posit...What at do you think about room correction ... 
Dynamics and resolution...
I’ve had great luck buying used Chord Cables Epic series interconnect and speaker cables.    Certainly worth the experimentation in your specific environment.
