My buddy worked for a company in Miami that actually installed a few pairs of these. Never got hear them though. I have been following the design since it was first announced. I like the drivers used and the super advanced DSP. Could sound damn nice! But then again, it better for that kind of $$$.

Just got back from the JAX Axpona show. Seth, you might get a kick out of my comments.

What's really sad is that a lot of these companies have no choice but to cater to the rich. In this economy, they are the only ones buying anything. If the system looks like it costs a million bucks, but sounds like a Bose, it's gonna sell..

Looks like a sealed electrostatic panel loudspeaker. Nothing you could clone except for maybe the basic overall shape of the speaker, which is visually quite stunning..

From what I have read, this is a re-badged version of the Nakamichi HD-A electrostatic loudspeakers that won some design awards back in 2007. Evidently Nakamichi bailed out of the deal over a matter of $200 reduction in unit cost.

I noticed that Rob Mckinlay of ER Audio had a hand in the design.
Oh, and the ESL panel isn't sealed, but does have a wedge shaped deflector behind it to help with placement closer to the rear wall.

$200? Over a speaker design like that? Brilliant! I wonder what kind of business crap Nelson Pass had to deal with over his Stasis design..
