Weightless, fast, and eerily transparent—electrostatic loudspeakers have a sound that captivates audiophiles like few others. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we explore how these panels work, using charged diaphragms and high-voltage fields to reproduce music with astonishing detail and delicacy. But that magic comes with trade-offs: limited dynamics, narrow dispersion, and placement sensitivity. Still, when everything lines up, electrostatics can deliver a level of realism that’s hard to forget—and harder to walk away from.
