Over the years the electrostatic loudspeaker has been recognized by audiophiles as the most accurate acoustic transducer. Its widespread use has been limited in the past by its high cost, rumors about problems with humidity and limited power capacity, and a general fear by the less sophisticated audiophile of such an unusual looking device, plus its esoteric operating principles.
Since Arthur A. Janszen developed what is known as the push-pull electrostatic element in 1949, JANSZEN has been manufacturing these speakers. Combining years of manufacturing experience with research, we have developed a new improved electrostatic radiator that truly represents fourth generation technology. This new driver is manufactured to tolerances so precise that typical units are within 0,5 dB of our specifications. Furthermore the new electrostatic have proven so totally reliable and rugged under all weather and power conditions that we have elected to offer an unprecedented "Five Year Conditional Warranty". The overall system is warranted for parts and labor for five years commencing on the date of original purchase from a franchised JANSZYN dealer. To deny the musical integrity of Janszen Electrostatic speakers would be to deny the laws of physics.
