I have been hoping you would explain the first part of this statement ("electrostats are pressure source devices"), as well as why the second part ("so will not act well when backfilled with acoustic resistance material") follows from the first.
I'm not trying to pick a fight with you; I'm trying to understand your position.
I'm not sure what's implied either. For example, those loudspeakers aren't using electrostatics to move air, they are using them to move a membrane surface to move air. The wavefront and time domain behaviour is somewhat different from conventional dynamic drivers, but air will behave like air wrt behaviour in proximate acoustic material in either case. Maybe something else is being described?
