In Reply to: One Of THE Best Speakers I Ever Heard ! posted by ka7niq on March 21, 2007 at 21:30:05:
probably back in 1979. They had an incredible top end, but from the midbass on down they were quite muddy and undistinguished. Even back then I did not think the two drivers integrated well, and I've become a LOT more picky since then.They were very interesting to look at, but, in the enclosed dealer room the smell of ozone was quite distinct. Also, there was a big cylinder of nitrogen gas that is fed to the electrode to keep it bathed in a non oxidizing environment. That would mean having to get the gas replenished regularly. I know that other plasma drivers have a very limited lifespan from such oxidation. I saw an article on how to make a homemade plasma drivers; these were expected to be replaced quite regularly.
