Is there a small Planar that can fit on a deck?

Hi there I was curious if anyone made a small desk size electrostatic speaker, Or if anyone knows a link to a DIY build?

I was thinking it would be a great way to try out an electrostat as I don't own a house and their too room dependent but for my desk they could be a fun way to explore and maybe throw on some mods along the way.

I was thinking about it and for MP3's on Pandora electrostats might just breath some extra life into them (or suck the life right out of them)

Anyway always good to learn new things

Putting electrostatics outside doesn't seem like such a good idea to me. Planar's are another thing altogether.

Magnepan is coming out with a desk top planar. Check out gizmodo:

Monsoon used to make some great desk sets of a small planar speaker. I own a pair of just the desk part, no amp or woofer part. Never got to play with them though.
Otherwise i agree the upcoming Magnepan may be interesting, but I bet they will be too big to fit on a desk you also use for work.
