Yep. But they looked different and had features (insulated wire stators) that helped prevent arcing.

I'm trying to find some good closeups of the Janszen module. As I recall, it was 6 inches square, black, made of a thermoset plastic like Bakelite, and unique-looking because of the wire stator design.

They were also used as add-on tweeters for the old AR speakers and used in more complicated designs like the ESS SuperQuad. ESS used RTR units but they are the same.

Duggeh's Babelfish/common-sense translation was pretty good, except for the last part


Wel alleen, niet eenzaam.

Alle inlichtingen, juichende recensies, test-overzichten en versterkergegevens wachten op uw briefkaartje. We hebben hier alleen geen adviesprijs meer. Consumentenbelang. Zeggen ze.
On your own, but not lonely.

All information, rave reviews, test overviews and amplifierdata wait for your postcard. We just don't have a MSRP. In the interest of the consumer. They say.

When I had these, you still ended up on your own. Everyone else left the room because of the amount of sound they made to others in the room.

"HeadQuads" was the term used by the guy I sold mine to.

Great write up duggeh, i have some float electrostatics and some new foam so your guide will be very helpful. I would like to add that i have tried mine with a sony ta-fb940r and a musical fidelity xray v3 and the sound was awesome but when i connected through my tube buffer and rotel pre/power the sound was simply astonishing with the smoothest midrange i have come across (and i run nautilus 803's with the awesome fst mid)
