Here is a "dumb" question about electrostatic speakers. I have been a lover of Quad ESL-63s for many years and have just gotten a nice pair of USA Monitors back from Electrostatic Solutions. They sound fabulous! So, as I understand it, the diaphragm sits in between the stators and vibrates there. The stators are perforated with holes and are, in turn covered over with dust covers of solid film. So my question is how does the sound get from the diaphragm through the holes in the stators and through solid plastic dust covers and sound so good? It seems they would be muffled somehow with all those components blocking the flow of air. |
