Rleff, Isn't it true electrostatics typically sound best with tubes? 
Speakers after GMA Europas
Unsound, Are you selling your system? 
Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ??
Tvad, Look at the sensitivity and impedance curve of an electrostatic speaker and tell me if it is a good match for tubes. 
Tubes to Watts Ratio
Swampwalker, Do you mean to say Mike Sanders has marketing people rating the power output of his amplifiers? 
Speakers on floor?
Getting the tilt angle the same is critical.

What exactly is an authorized reseller? 
Speakers on floor?
The idea behind the Mapleshade stand is to maintain tonal balance by not distancing the speaker from a critical room boundary, the floor. I own a pair of Meridian M2 active speakers with dedicated stands. These stands also position the speaker clo... 
Sound diffusion panels--do they reduce brightness?
I agree with 4est. Your ottoman is leather which is a reflective surface in close proximity to the listening position. Before treating your room you may want to take a close look at your system components. You may have one or more components borde...

The original Quicksilver full function preamp may give you the sound you are looking for. It has very low output impedance making it compatible with most any amplifier and cables. 
how efficient are paradigm mini monitors?
Sensitivity is often measured by driving a speaker with one watt and measuring the loudness in decibels at one meter. The Paradigm monitors I am familiar with are moderately efficient with an 8 ohm rating. The JD303 will be plenty of power. 
How long do you wait for a check to clear
I have actually had sellers ship equipment before receiving my check. 
Active Vs. Passive
One of the many speakers I own is a pair of Meridian active speakers. They are dual mono and biamped with an electronic crossovers. The amplifiers are perfectly matched to the drivers and you have the ability to tailor the sound with upstream cabl... 
How long do you wait for a check to clear
That's exactly right. Go to the bank the check is written on and cash it. Why would a seller agree to a personal check in the first place. Sellers should at least require a Cashier's Check or Money Order, but the risk is equally on both sides in t...

Newbee, On the contrary, your experience is invaluable to the OP and anyone else thinking of buying vintage electrstatic speakers. 
Need Help with Acoustat Model 4 speakers
Newbee, The Acoustat TNT-200 was designed by Acoustat to drive Acoustat speakers. I could not say it is the best amp to drive Acoustats, but I can tell you it out performed my Levinson 23 while driving Acoustats of the same vintage as the OP's Aco...
