How heil's Air Motion Transformer concept works:
 A low mass pleated diaphragm is activated by a magnetic field & 'squeezes' air out of the gaps with great pressure & velocity for small diaphragm excursions - low distortion & great sense of 'speed' - suits upper mid-HF freq range I believe. Also moves a lot of air, equivalent to a much larger cone driver - I'm imagining that this might be a good characteristic for h'phones. DarkLantern blog - darklanternforowen.wordpress.com
