crystal speakers work off a concept known as the tartini tone. they send out a single pitch frequency at a very high frequency like 200 khz area that is constant, then they have a crystal that sends aout a variable hz tone some where in the 50khz range, since all sounds can be comprised of the additions of sine wave, the collision point of the constant and variable sounds intersect and creat a resultant tone between 0 and 22khz which is the range of human hearing. it is actually a very amazing and simple technology and will eventually replace all magnetically driven speakers.

Isn't this the same technology that allows sound to be directed in a certain area?
