   Magnepan's are not electrostatic, but use the moving Mylar plane sort-of   
   like they were electrostatic--but they use magnetic strips on the backplane   
   to impart forces onto the Mylar plane.   
      
   Martin Logan speakers are electrostatic (I have a pair from 1986-ish,   
   reved up from B-to-G in 1996.) They sound much like electrostatic   
   headphones except rooms sized sound pressure levels. These cost   
   around $2,000 in 1986...   
      
   Dalhquist are electrostatic; around since 1973-ish.

   And often accompanied by a tuning system to allow the speakers to be tuned   
   to the room in which they are used. Velodyne sub-woofers allow the woofer   
   to be tuned to the room and phase aligned with the main speakers.
