For those of you who have lived with both cones and statix, you'll already know the difference - there is no comparison. A film which weighs less than a tweeter cone if set up correctly, is transcendental.

According to Jonathan Valin, THE ABSOLUTE SOUND April 2025: "Sonically, they’re a step into an entirely different world, like that trip from black-and-white Kansas to Technicolored Oz. To put this plainly, from the upper bass to the top treble these are the highest-resolution loudspeakers I’ve ever heard. Even the MartinLogan CLXes, which were the highest-res transducers I’d auditioned prior to the Czars, weren’t this finely detailed."

"...these are remarkable loudspeakers, capable of unparalleled resolution—not just of transient detail but also of tone colors, dynamic shifts (and leaps), and changes in pitch and duration.From the upper bass through the treble, they are incredibly precise and alive-sounding transducers that make it easier to visualize what you’re listening to than just about any cones-in-a-box I’ve auditioned. In fact, given their limits,they are faster, more finely detailed, and higher in fidelity to sources than any loudspeaker I’ve auditioned. Sonically, they are also more “of a piece” than cones, multi-driver ribbons, and, yes, omnis. They sound like what they are: true single-driver line sources."
