Seems like everywhere you look, there is a speaker with ceramic drivers getting a lot of attention. There's Valin's new darling, the Estelon (and Raid-ho too?). Anthony Cordesman has a review of the Talon. I think Evolution Acoustics has them too. Who else is using them?
I don't have much experience with speakers that use these drivers, but when I heard them, they sounded a bit edgy to my ears - at times. Also, seems like very expensive speakers have them. Yes, this "e" word is an allergen, but beyond a reflexive emotion, what is driving the high prices? Have the drivers gotten to be good to justify the high prices?
Is a metal speaker with ceramic drivers next? Or is this just the latest fad?
