From http://www.euronet.nl/users/temagm/audio/esl63.htm The distortion produced by the ESL-63 is extremely low. The ability to produce a square wave that actually looks like one is quite unique. Average distortion is 0.03%, only rising to 1% at 40Hz -90% lower than that of quality dynamic woofers- at a sound pressure level of 96dB. Maximum excursion of the membrane is ± 2.5mmMax excursion of 2.5mm - I'm surprised they flex that much even at 96db.
And on... The speaker is cleverly designed. I am not aware of tweaks that can improve the sound quality. Four elements are placed above each other. The top and bottom elements are for bass. In between are two elements with 7 circular concentric conductors, which are fed by an allpass network that acts as an electrical delay line. This elegant construction gives the ESL the character of a point source and gives a smooth transition from high to mid frequencies
Sounds like just the ticket! PJW certainly was a brilliant engineer, but in the end his systems made music that can bring a tear to anyone's eye.
