Feel free to express yourself and your thoughts about the Single Driver design speakers in this thread.

Ideas, your projects, pics, experiances are all fun and welcome.

From my experiance with at least two SD commercial design that actually worked like a charm, I have to say that I am seriously concidering it as my next DIY project.

Awesome speakers when done right.

Cabasse are round while Fujitsu are oval/egg shape. Cabasse is a multi driver design. Cabasse is Swiss and Fujitsu is Japanese. They are not related in design, I think, but shape is pretty similar.

I don't have experience with electrostatic speakers but, if my memory serves me right, they have poor bass extension, less than perfect dynamics and narrow/small sweet spot not to mention large size. Don't they have, being bipolar speakers, to be positioned far away from back wall?

although i am partial to panel speakers, i can't see how one can generalize and say one design is categorically better than other.

it comes down to preference. i find many panel speakers properly set up have smaller deviations in frequency response, within their range, than other speakers.

the criticisms of panels speakers are notorius, but i am willing to accept the comprimises to attain the benefits, which many audiophiles are aware of.

If you haven't done so already I suggest checking audiocircle. Single driver speakers are discussed regularly by many devotees over there.
