Headphoneus Supremus
The closest parallel I see is that the magneto static driver has all of the elements of a balanced armature minus the rod & arm but the magnets & coil are there & the thin magnetically reactive drive element take the place of the arm & rod. Beyond that everything is just positioned & shaped differently. So in reality I would call it a modified balanced armature having some advantages but still sharing some of the limitations & possibly adding some of their own limitations.
