Electrostatic amps may be expensive but something like the BHSE has no rivals in the dynamic realm when comparing pure performance and utter immunity to the load present.

That is it really plus the weight of the diaphragm is also a factor and how highly tensioned the electrostatic diaphragms are.

PLanar magnetic drivers have a problem, which is that the magnetic assembly around the driver is fairly large relative to the thinner stators of electro-statics. In my opinion, this creates some problems in the highs which causes them to be a little less resolving than estats.
But the magnetic grip on the diaphragm is a much stronger force than estats which give the PM cans an advantage in delivering tight, impactive bass.
Generally: PM=warm and punchy. Estats=airy and resolving.
