AFAIK they are only popular in Japan. It is a complete different technology. Instead of using and electro magnetic system, like small speakers, it uses a high voltage (~500V) electrostatic system, hence the need of a dedicated amplifier. You can get an used unit at eBay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Consumer-Electronics-/293/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=stax The one I tried was from the 80’s and sounded fantastic. Cheers Gian
