I have always wondered whether this seemingly universal impression of
electrostatics has been caused by their being driven improperly.
Conventional wisdom is that electrostatics are voltage-driven devices,
but strict application of Gauss' and Coulomb's Laws indicates that they
are actually charge-driven. When driven by voltage, the force on the
diaphragm changes as excursion changes. When driven by charge, the force
is independent of excursion.

can you tell me your impression of what electrostats would sound like if somehow they were driven differently?
