I was about 27 years old back in 1977 when I first heard these speakers. They were
extraordinary, and created a holographic transparent soundstage which I've yet to
hear reproduced.

Unfortunately, I've heard that reliability is not one of their strong points, and they use
a very unusual gas in sealed bags...(something) hexaflouride. Might be difficult to
find if needed for repair. But if someone is enterprising and finds a quality pair of
XG-8's, they're in for an audio treat.

Extremely Rare Electrostatic Loudspeaker.
Considered to be One of the Best Sounding Speakers Anywhere.
This is a pair of Dayton Wright XG-8 Mk 3 Series 3 full range electrostatic loudspeakers that I am selling. These have been my personal speakers for the past 25 years. They have served flawlessly over that time and have never been abused.

The speakers are covered with the original Wheat colored fabric with rosewood veneer tops and bottoms. Package includes the black ST-300A matching transformer unit/bias supply. Also included are the manual and promotional brochures. All of the equipment is in excellent condition, is working properly and sounds phenomenally great. These speakers sold new for $3,500.
