I wasn't waving one. I'm prepared to explain the nuances of my replies to your posts via PMs if you think that would be helpful.

I take your point, but in general usage within these forum threads, the term "dynamic" or "dynamic driver" is referring to headphones with moving coil drivers, rather than Planar magnetic headphones. Ortho-dynamic is more commonly used to describe Planar magnetic headphones than the other terms that you have mentioned. Audez'e actually refer to the LCD-2 as Planar magnetic rather than ortho-dynamic.

You are wrong. Orthodynamics are dynamic headphones (as opposed to electrostatic or magnetostatic headphones). They are a special type of dynamics, but still dynamics.
 

And you are blunt.  I really have nothing further to add to the post that you've quoted. Again, I'm happy to take this discussion to PMs.
 

To the OP, I apologise for my part in derailing your thread. That wasn't my intention as I am genuinely interested in a comparison of these two headphones. Hopefully, the thread will get back on track now.

Yes.

Orthodynamic drivers use a voice coil to move the diaphragm lika any other dynamic driver. Electrostats and magnetostats don't.
 

Extremely well-said, Bilavideo.  I share your view on this completely.
