New Kid On The Block

JansZen has a new model on display that is a hybrid OB/Dipole cone/electrostatic panel.

Not much on the web about it and not on their website that I can find yet.

JansZen Nine.Five

The original KLH Nine which this speaker is based on, was designed by Arthur A. Jaszen in the mid-1950s and field tested by JansZen Laboratory. Ultimately brought to market as a flagship loudspeaker with help of KLH.

The KLH Nine was the first truly full-range electrostatic loudspeaker, and was loved by the audiophile press of its day.

David Janzen's take on the design incorporates the use of 8-inch ceramic cone woofers, six per side, in dipole configuration. Handling frequencies up to 200Hz, whereafter electrostatic panels take up the duties of upper bass, midrange, and treble.

There's a lot of tech talk about how these electrostatic line arrays load the room and focus their sound at the listener, but it's a bit much to go into here. Just know, that when put to the exhibit test, the Nine.Five (introductory price, $19,500 pr USD, sold direct) panel speakers seem to be without peer in their category.
