Gilmore Audio planars revealed

Man, who keeps changing the laws of physics around here?! Only Congress can do that! Well, maybe the UN can, too, but they don't wanna.

There are people who say that a solid state "watt" is different from a tube "watt". Maybe these are some different kind of dB.

There will be additional pictures on the website before the day is over, including a rear view.

Yes, but it doesn't make a very good speaker membrane. It's not quite as responsive as .3mil Kapton.

You seem like a smart guy. Let me say a few things.

You need to lighten up a little bit. "We'll see what the future brings" comment was meant partially tongue in cheek but also out of respect for future technologies that will take a very different approach to sound reproduction. Of course membranes themselves will never be lighter than air -- you can just look at the periodic chart to figure that one out. But in fact, the claim that we are making, which Soundlab essentially makes also as well as other respected manufacturers that use ultra light membrane technologies, is that our membrance is very light and that that fact is important -- because lightness improves responsiveness and reduces distortion. SO this is a critical issue and the fact is that most drivers are relatively very heavy and don't move more air mass than their own mass. Ours do and that is significant This is hardly snake oil and hype. This is a critical distinction that can be measured. It is interesting to watch a small piece of our .3mil kapton membrane stay afloat for quite a while in a room, buffeted only by the normal air currents found in the home. In any case, we invite you to visit us at CES and THE-expo so you can see for yourself what we are talking about.

Thanks.
