It was nice to talk to the Son and engineer providing proud all details with glow in the eyes, instead of rejecting like other companies "this is proprietary secret". You can really see they love what theyre doing 
Indeed, is it is very nice to hear about it.
 
Regarding the rest that you described in the “Beryllium and inversed phase plug” section. Is it along the line what the RCA 900 drivers were doing? What you described is interesting but it has very little theoretical sense as it would be useful ONLY to the people who practically experimented with all of it. There are very few people out there who more or less methodologically honestly played with all of this, it would be literally a dozen alive people at the whole planet. So, it is very hard to analyze or to try extrapolate any causelity or dependencies in this field as no one has any sensible references about what cause what. They make a complete driver with own combination of diaphragm, suspension, geometry, materials, plugs, the exits channels, the damping principles and many other know and not know factors. We can only evaluate a complete holistic result (sound) but I do not know if anyone could attribute a specific sonic characteristic of a complete driver to a minute aspect of a given driver design.  We can say that some universally bad sonic aspects might be correlated with some universally bad design decisions of compression driver but it is a very murky territory. So, I am glad that the ESD people are happy with their design but even listening their explanations I do not know what it means.
