This episode remembers one of hi-fi's strangest creations ever – and one that probably passed you by, because it was bundled with a mediocre, mid-price Sony midi system!

This mid-1990s motional-feedback powered hybrid active electrostatic is an absolutely bonkers design – there's nothing like this. What better subject then for Mike and David to discuss?

Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features their unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs.

Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from his earlier hi-fi retail years, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.

So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below. And don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven!

The eighties-tastic title tune is called ‘UFO/Mike’s Jumper’, and used with the express permission of our old pal and rights holder Simon Lythe.
