You have to move air to make sound. If you want bass, you have to move a lot of air. Unless these speakers can have a large xmax they'll have to have a large area like electrostatics. Every so often someone comes along and says, "this is an amazing new type of loudspeaker!" But, it's almost never new. It uses electromagnetism to move a membrane just like all the speakers in your house. I'm calling this just another audio marketing ploy.
