    I'm Geoff.

    Default New type of speakers.

    I really want a listen to the new prototype speakers developed by JPL from a NASA research offshoot. The Photon Wave Modulation Transducers, allegedly the first and only speakers that will work in space. I understand Branson may be involved in financing much of the research. They have zero diaphragm mass and instant transient response, very interesting. This technology could provide a turning point for the whole audio industry!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
