RE: Laugh it up.....

It's been mentioned in a lot of reviews. "Mylar sound" is one common description. Check forex Jon Valin's review of the 3.7 (I think it was the 3.7, maybe the 1.7), in which he notes that the quasi-ribbon models have significantly less of it than the older wire ones (I assume because the foil damps the diaphragm more effectively than the wire did).

All speakers have this -- in dynamics, it's often referred to as cone breakup. There's a remarkable recording somewhere online of the self noise of various drivers, with the exciting signal filtered out. You hear immediately how it contributes to the sonic character of different driver types.
