RE: While you are probably right for a laminated panel

How could Acoustat manage to get a suitable tension just by heat shrinking? Could they verify the results of the heat shrinking in/during production? Maybe just applying a weight to get a certain deflection? Did they do any mechanicly pre-tensioning of the diaphragm? A swedish manufactor of esl speakers had a facility that allowed streching while playing the speakers. I think some electrostatics had spring loaded tension.
As Quad and Magnepan tension their diaphragms on streching rigs, the production can be rather uniform. These companies must have made more planar speakers than anybody else? What about the production numbers of Martin Logan, Acoustat, Sound Lab, Audiostatic and others?
