...didn't Dayton Wright enclose one model of their high power electrostats in a bag filled with SF6 (sulphur hexaflouride)? IIRC, this was done because SF6 is a better dielectric/insulator material than an equal gap of air thus allowing higher polarizing and drive voltage. I also recall that those speakers were quite problem prone due in part to leakage of the SF6.
