And so it came to pass, on 01-07-97 20:12,
   that Dan Dunfee spake unto Matt Ion:
 DD> The load is purely resistive, unlike dynamic drivers which have
 DD> reactive elements which do require current as you describe.   It is
 DD> electrostatics which are largely capacitive.  
Okay, I knew things got turned around here somewhere along the line :-)
 DD> The stable non-frequency dependent load of a ribbon is another mark
 DD> on the positive side of the list.  Ribbon drivers need not be low
 DD> in efficiency.   The Carver 60" long version is 90 db with an
 DD> active xover.  
This is where it got confusled... I'm operating under the impression that the 
Carver speakers ARE electrostatics.  Seem to remember reading that somewhere. 
 Or I might be thinking about a different model.
