The beauty of the Giyas with the narrow baffle (and the dome midrange)
is that they disappear completely I am not aware of listening to loudspeakers, which is my problem with most box loudspeakers you are always aware of them. The Giyas have very little character of their own.
Single drivers and electrostatics have other problems which to my ears are much are bigger compromises. But then again we all look for different qualities. I've heard many loudspeakers having worked in a high end audio shop and the Giyas are an excellent compromise.

Another speaker that I think is an excellent coherent source is the Thiel CS3.7. It is a point source from 300-Hz up, and it is supposedly linear phase to ±10-degrees. I've owned them two years and they are the most uncolored, neutral speakers I've ever owned. Every time I listen I am impressed with their natural sound quality, and this is after two years of nearly daily listening. I basically can't tolerate other speakers so I use them for TV and DVD movies, too. I'm hoping I don't wear them out prematurely. ;-)

I have a hard time believing that a 10" 2-way with a 1" tweeter can provide a reasonably uniform off-axis (say, 30 degrees) output. This resurrects the "single chair" and "bad ambient sound" issues of yester-year.:)

I assume you are talking about the Orangutan speakers. Have you ever heard them? I heard them at a show and I thought they were seriously colored and boxy. Perhaps I wasn't sitting in the sweet spot, but I didn't care for them.

Actually, I was talking about the OrangeTang.
(Sorry... lost you for a second there, I moved off-axis.)
