OK, I see, it isn't electrostatic. It's an electromagnetic ribbon. Cool, makes crossover work easy.

For a product that naturally has smooth and extended highs it is a mystery how they are getting these things to sound glassy or shrill as the review suggests they are.
I mean they would have to be really distorting the lower order speakers with the crossover configuration sending HF info to them or possibly exceeding the limitations of the tweeter in this design. I don't what's up without hearing them, but the characteristics described in the review don't match my perception of how the equipment SHOULD work. He says it sounds "wrong" so maybe he is right.
