I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology


I'm curious about Wharfedale's use of Air Motion Transformers in their new Elysian line.  See http://www.wharfedale.co.uk/elysian4/

I'm admittedly in the dark about this technology even though other manufacturers have used it.  I'm curious about its use, potential benefits, sound signature, etc.

Heil speakers used the AMT ribbon tweeters in their speakers back in the early seventies, if I’m remembering correctly. Those were the first AMT tweeters I’d ever heard of. They were ESS made I believe. You can still find them for sale on Ebay. They were German made (hence the Heil name of the inventor) so I seriously doubt they had any cheap Chinese plastics in them.
