A few instances of audio giving me goosebumps are etched in my memory. One was listening to Metallica perform live in Central Park in New York City, the goosebumps arriving during the guitar solo in "Nothing Else Matters." Another one was experiencing Dolby Atmos for the very first time in theatres. And the latest came last week while lounging in the back seat of the Range Rover SV Ultra, hearing its new electrostatic speakers create absolute sensory magic.
The British automaker is trying to reinvent in-car audio in a big way. Its new electrostatic speakers ditch much of the conventional hardware in favor of a radically simpler design. JLR says it's the first automaker in the world to fit electrostatic speakers to a production vehicle, and after spending about 20 minutes experiencing them, they're the most impressive car audio system I've ever heard.
