Acoustat 4 Monitor: still actual?

Hello Friends,
I have the opportunity to buy from a friend a perfect huge pair of Acoustat Monitor 4, the biggest model from the strickland age, the model with the strange socket.
The speakers are perfect, the amps are perfect, the price very good..
Now I have a big pair of Rockport, and I am tempting to buy this speakers for a second system..
Are they some considerations? any experience from owner or ex owners?
is this model still actual in comparision to the latest electrostatic sopeakers..?
are the x better or vice versa?
Than you very much..

Alexismaster- Congratulations on your purchase. They are excellent speakers. If I didn't already own Beveridge speakers they would be on my short list. Bob

Well I didn't find any monitor 4, but I am very happy with my 3 panel X's.

I've had Quad 63, stacked 57's, Martin Logan Sequel ,2 pair of CLS iiz, and had the 3 panel medallian transformer(minus servo amp).

I've had the amps modded, and upgraded a lot of the connectors with the best from Furutech and I use HiFi Supreme fuses.

I run each servo amp on it's own dedicated 20 amp line.

After many years and dollars chasing after the sound of High End, I am closer now than I've ever been.

Couldn't be happier.

Look up Mr Acoustat on Canuckmart lots of posts and lots of pictures, great speaker by the way.
Owned the Three's for over 10 years, never a hick-up.
Good luck and enjoy.
