Yes, we are all adults here, but I hope and pray that readers just following along and dreaming about "ultimate" systems will not take it upon themselves to actually try any of this stuff at home!  Be advised, all, that the voltages being bandied about here are LETHAL!  This stuff is for experts in HV field only!  You will not "learn a lesson" if you screw up with these voltages; you will DIE!
Sure high-voltage has own toll, not only it can kill but it can explode very nicely but if the things are done properly then there are no problem with high voltage. We have panty amps on 211/GM70 out run 1000V. We have many people direct couple electrostats running them at 2000-2500V from transmission tubes. To build thus amps is dangers, have own complexity and have to be done by people who know what they do. To use a properly and securely made amp is not a big deal and it is no different than anything else. In fact with a proper design it might be as secure and a kitchen toaster… Yes, you would not take it with you in bathtub or in bad but anything else is very much acceptable.
