To Everyone who followed this thread and posted your great information and assistance, after having been flooded twice, the last time by hurricane Harvey, I got laid off from a company that I worked for, for 25 years... During this time off, I've taken the time to buy a new house (because I had to have a place to live) and now have a small listening room. I set up a listening system utilizing an old Pioneer tuner and integrated amp. I also picked up a Levinson 38S Preamp, a Levinson CD Transport and a Levinson DAC. I also had the faceplates for my 2 Citation II amps refurbished.

After looking long and hard at my Acoustats, I realized the diaphrams are clean and tight. I contact Roy Savuto and he have me a voltage range to check between the red pin on the 3 way banana plug female receptacle and ground. The voltages checked out so after another cleaning, and making sure both speakers were set at the same angle, I fired them up!

I was blown away at how well these speakers perform!!! It is literally as though I went from the last day they were working to today without skipping a beat!!!

I spent the whole day listening to them. Currently, I'm playing music from my phone into a Pioneer Home Theater Receiver. I'm using it because my Citations need to have the transformers repainted and perform some internal upgrades. In the interim, I'm more than happy to use my Pioneer Receiver and phone or tablet to play MP3 files... The sound is incredible!!! I'll be posting a video on either YouTube or Instagram and when I do, I'll post a link here. I just need to sort out how best to record the audio...

Anyways, I can't thank all of you enough for your kind assistance and I apologize for dropping off like I did... which is why I'm following up on this thread...

To Ernie: these are Your speakers. If you read this thread, message me and let me know how to contact you and I will bring these speakers to you right away and purchase another pair somewhere!! In the meantime, I'm going to really enjoy listening to them! After 23 years, they're running and sound absolutely incredible!

All the best to everyone - Luther
