   Arrays are okay in their place -- outdoors, as you say -- but I have my doubts   
   about the efficacy of large-unit or large-number indoor arrays. Seems a waste   
   of ESL, to put it mildly.

   The owner of the 3 stacked ESL pairs had them all re-membraned by John Hall in   
   Melbourne. Must have cost about $12,000++. I agree its a bit over the top. But   
   old ESL57 are continiually turning up in deceased estates as old owners drop   
   off their perches,    
   or their sons don't want them, and surely most women don't like them. So,   
   there's a constant stream of ESL57 becoming available for those who want them,   
   a small number of ppl I would suggest, and for the well healed, it matters not   
   if they have stuffed    
   membranes because they can be fully restored and made to go for another 50   
   years.    
   I see all sorts of ppl spend all sorts of sums on stuff I'd never want. Sure   
   I'd like a mint 1935 Bugatti, but I would not own it, it would own me, and   
   gees, the fuel bill would be horrendous, and probably, I'd not do any better   
   pulling chicks than i do    
   with a bicycle.
