PWB Headphones, any one hear of 'em?

I stumbled across a pair the other day. They're electrostats and plug in to an amps speaker outs (via a transformer of sorts).

I can't seem to find out much on them, other than they were made by Mr. Peter W Belt.

If anyones got some info or impressions for me, I'd be interested to hear it.

Once they get their fora back on line, try asking this at head-fi.org.

I've never heard of the headphones (which is surprising, given that I'm a long-time head-fi guy), but IIRC, Peter Belt was a pretty well-known magik tweaker from a decade or more ago. I don't recall any of his tweaks specifically, but they were in the class of today's Magic Pebbles, etc., unexplainable phenomena that most laughed at and the minority of believers swore by.

Any pictures of the headphones?

There is not much known about them and in the 5 years of collecting electrostatic headphones I've only come across the transformer/adapter once so they are quite rare. I'd love to see some pictures of them.

Sorry guys, I couldn't grab any pics. They're for sale in a local shop. Complete with transformer.

One hundred & eighty clams and I could be an owner. Not sure I'm ready to pull the trigger, though.

Advice?
