Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: I prefer

As for panels in general I've listened to QUAD ESL 57&63 and decided that they are not for me.

Agreed. I've also heard stacked 57s and they didn't do it for me either. Unlike the U-1s, they cannot do 30 hz.

I gather you are not familiar with the unique SL panel approach. It uses a single diaphragm, but across a faceted grid in a curved arc. Mine radiate across 90 degrees.

Click here for a rear shot that might help illustrate the approach.

Not least because my speakers inevitably find themselves with their backs on a wall so no OBs for me either.

I am fortunate having a dedicated listening room that allow the freedom to place them optimally. They're about eight feet out from back wall (pics in my gallery if you're interested).
