Yeah, that's the thing. I understand that the box is the most expensive component in a dynamic speaker. So panels are going to have a price/performance advantage for those who value the kind of naturalism they offer.
There's something seductive to the sound of single driver speakers, but for me, the sacrifices are too extreme. I feel much the same about SET amps. Since everything has flaws, I prefer a balanced approach that suits my own purposes -- accurate reproduction of acoustical music first, but I also want to be able to listen to rock and use my speakers for home theater.
But again, I think this has to be an individual decision. And I think, actually, that the heart has to be involved. Buying a componet for other reasons is I suspect a recipe for dissatisfaction. Really, when all is said and done, component selection isn't a very cerebral thing for me -- they either sound real to me, or they don't.
Here's a thread that Wendell Diller at Magnepan sent on to me. Needless to say, threads like this warm the heart of a marketing director! But I think we've all enjoyed that kind of reaction to a component, and that, to me, is the important thing -- that whatever we end up with yields this kind of delight.
