Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement

Maybe Ben Peters is bringing back a improved version of his Threshold ES-500 Electrostatic speakers...

According to that review, 20 Hz response was down -10 dB relative to 1 kHz at 80 dB. First of all, that is not loud to begin with and due to our decreased auditory sensitivity to low freq, I doubt anyone would notice. I don't think he's anything new that can overcome low freq limitation of electrostatic speakers.

Dracule1, I think we will have to wait and see when someone gets some of these new Audiostatic speakers and do some tests on them to see if they can "REALLY DO" 20 HZ +- 3. I don't think it can be done with a Electrostatic Speaker... and will never believe it until I see tests showing it!..

I think Essence Company is blowing hot air with out facts to back it up.

Why these companies publish such incredulous spec is beyond me.
