I was wondering much the same, except I note that my pal’s massive Quads and the older radiator-like versions at uni were still crazy heavy due to the power supply (I assume) and they were a bit short on warm bass, perhaps these “new” speakers run on a trickle of power and produce bass like a Cerwin-Vega for all I know?

The power supply problem is not power but voltage, electrostatic speakers just require high voltage

Also they are expensive audiophile thing so good chance they were driven off some super inefficient and/or made on discrete componentes, hence the size
