A very interesting loudspeaker element

Have you ever heard about this company?:

I seems, that they produce some kind of electrostatic elements with high directivity, which could be used as line sources - maybe it would be worth trying out! Anyone from Finnland here?

Kinda odd don't you think that they don't publish any measured specifications?
We have no idea if these units are suitable for Hi fidelity. We need more hard data, specs, performance.....perhaps they don't provide it as it is unsuitable for Hi Fi.
Perhaps MAX SPL is only...say 90 Dba....Or F sweep is only 220-7K Hertz?
I would try to get more info by writing them & asking....rather than surfing thru platitudes & sales talk.

There are some PDF files for download, where they specify more - but I have not had the time to go through them in detail. The panels have high directivity. Being electrostatic panels, I do not suspect any problem. From what I've read until now, the max. SPL is kind of low (I saw a figure 108 dB/8khz - but not at which distance).
