Its a recording of a set of mine using CBT like ribbon drivers (yes with shading) and a pair of my old planar bass panels.
i bought some new mics and wanted to see if this pair finally works out. put your headphones on!! and have patience i talk allot 🙂

Can somone tell sound difference between large estats like Capaciti e2.5 (60x200cm) and magnetic planars of similar size? Does segmeneted wire stator offer better directivity control or magnetic differ in the bass region? Planar magnetic seems much easier to build at home - price of neo magnets matters.
Hi
The recording sounds really good!
I would be interested to know which group and which song it is? The singer who sings in French.
Thank you very much.

It's not easy to say which of these will yield sound differences, as so much depends on the precise implementation.
Generally:
1) I said generally, so please don't tell me the one product that contradicts each of these 🙂
2) planar magnetics have more output per unit area since excursion and force on the diaphragm can be higher - this means smaller drivers can be used in some applications
3) segmented electrostatics can have better dispersion because it's easier/cheaper to segment them into more sections, since it only requires resistors
4) High frequency sections of electrostatics are run full range, while high frequency sections of planar magnetics are high-passed, so crossovers tend to be different between the two. This also affects dispersion - typically yielding more chaotic off-axis behavior in planar magnetics.
5) Electrostatics have lower mass per unit area since you can run thinner diaphragms and the conductive layer is much thinner/lighter than the wires/glue in a planar magnetic. Higher end planar magnetics tend to use ribbon tweeters, so one would assume there's an inherent performance limit with planar magnetics at higher frequencies.
I'm not sure I'd say planars are easier to build when they get to useful sizes. Each has their nuances, and there are a lot of details to get right if you want high performance in either approach. Of course planars are easier to drive since each element is essentially a pure resistance and they don't require a transformer interface, high voltage, etc. High voltage parts tend to get rarer and more expensive as time goes by.
Its wende ! dutch singer doing allot of french stuff back int he day 🙂 i do not like her new stuff all that much 🙁 but thats how it goes
I hear magnapan in the Bas and apogee in the mid high.
Two different speakers 😟😟😟😀.
Regards wollie

i think both sound rather similar down low 🙂 i think in the low end its mostly my room you hear 🙂 and much of it 🙂
Cool video. I always love hearing binaural stuff, your system is sounding great! (Or as great as I can hear through my planar IEMS)
Your channel is inspiring me to get into building a pair of headphones and some matched electronics.
Have you ever experimented with current drive for planars? I'm thinking it could allow wider/lower impedance traces without running into amplifier loading issues. I'm considering making a custom planar headphone+amp combo, working on figuring out prototyping right now and sourcing magnets/aluminized mylar.
Didn't realize you were on this forum! I'm not surprised =)
