Pretty please - keep the rubes happy - post the damning evidence.
Can you post an audio file to prove the things really work?

There's evidence (uncovered by our orthoninjas) that JVC tried a single-ended headphone back in the day and decided not to market it. Single-ended requires lots of surface area to keep bass distortion down. With big door-sized speakers, no problem. With headphones...

The Monsoon satellites are true planar magnetics. Songistix licensed the design from Bruce Thigpen's Eminent Technology company. Eminent Tech made their own planar computer speakers, but Sonigistix/Monsoon made them affordable.

And yes, let's see those photos!
