And yet, here they were pulling a very compelling electrostatic/open-baffle speaker mimic, with exceptional dynamic speaker capabilities. Much head shaking followed this revelation and a few drops of the jaw as I discovered their other traits, but I’m getting a bit ahead. speakers (and headphones)! And that the Kaya 45s rendered the performances so well and consistently gave immediate insight to their ability to easily reproduce other genres/types of music, which they did.
