The impact/tactile thing varies quite a bit on 'stats. Some have it, some have less of it and some have almost none of it.

You definitely feel it with the Koss ESP-9 and Sony ECR-500. These are fully capable of pounding your head when juiced.

You feel a good amount with my modded old Pro driver phones.

You feel not much from SR-X and Gamma.

You feel very little from the Lambdas\303\404.

I use electrostats for all music types I listen to, even modern brick-walled and compressed out the ying-yang recordings. They still sound better to me than most/all dynamic phones I've heard.
