Kinda seems like this is an audio area not completly explored.

I was thinking about that, i know that DYI recipes for ESL's tell to use mylar or even saran wrap. Obviously not very thick and not *too* durable.
I guess the best solution would be a membrane that is light but with increased rigity.

I was under the impression that the large surface area and stonger control of the driver is what made ESL's so desireable. With a grill stator delivering uniform pull to the entire membrane it increases the clarity over the normal Dynamic driver which is basically a cone attached to a piston and is more inclined to suffer from distortion. I know that the whole "Boxy sound" can be greatly diminished by not using a box, but rather smooth curved surfaces.
Im looking for a niche to get in with speaker construction, trying to find idea's that people will be attracted to.
I think full range ESL's that can reach down to 40hz would be rather appealing. Im sure there are some ESL owners who can get a full range out of thier speakers, but the lack of bass is something commonly spoke of.
Another niche i was thinking of is finding a way to make smeakers that are intended to be up against the wall that dont suffer from that type of placement.
I figure that there are a billion companys out there, if i want to succeed i gotta do something different.
