To all the mad scientists out there: since I've discovered this hobby I've been wondering whether or not one could make a planar magnetic/electrostatic hybrid with some sort of cross-over playing to the strengths of each driver (e.g., set the headphones so it has a ortho and electrostatic driver per ear such that the orthodynamic driver is utilized for the low-end so you get their tactile impact, but the electrostatic is set for the highs/mids so you get their clarity/resolution).
 
Could this be made on a theoretical, or better, a practical level?  I think the biggest obstacle would be their very different amping requirements, but a boy can dream, right?

Not to mention figuring out how to implement the crossover, and placement of the drivers. Interesting idea though. Maybe they could do it in an IEM?

In this fantasy world, sure why not! 

 
Anybody else?
