STAX Announces the Return of a Legend: The SR-009D Electrostatic Earspeaker

STAX Ltd., world-renowned pioneer in electrostatic audio technology, is proud to announce the highly anticipated return of a legendary model: the SR- 009D Electrostatic Earspeaker. This reissue of the iconic SR-009, which set the standard for high-end audio for nearly a decade, is a direct response to overwhelming demand from audiophiles and music lovers worldwide.

This modern enhancement not only improves maintainability but also allows for future upgrades, providing a level of flexibility and peace of mind that was not available with the original model.
