So, how do you "coax" panel speakers to work well? Does this mean that you have to design the room around the speaker; have a room that is a suitable size and shape, use acoustic panels, etc?
Looks like a new extreme interrogation technology.
I suspect it doesn't sound very beefy, but it looks awesome.Pantheone I Speaker

I assume dipoles have similar issues.
Fred Flinstone's party speaker!I absolutely do not think those are beautiful, but maybe someone will ?
Placement and toe-in are hypercritical and you have to do tons of experimentation with room treatment. A must, in my experience, is a diffusion structure directly behind each planar speaker, carefully placed between the speaker and the wall behind it. I found that an arrangement of 3 PVC tubes about 3” in diameter and about 6ft. tall, arranged vertically in a row parallel to the rear of the speaker worked well. They were secured at the top and bottom and spaced a few inches apart. I built some based on a commercial product that might still be around. As I implied, some pretty extreme measures must be taken to “control” the rear wave. It takes a lot of fine-tuning.So, how do you "coax" panel speakers to work well?

You sir, have a type!Considering we're hardly discussing the 'most beautiful speakers ever'
I would like to point out the JBL Ti K series. To me absolutely astonishing.
There was a post on the forum by @jororaitchev about a DIY project he did.
To me they are some of the most beautiful speakers design. And they don't sound bad either!
This is his picture. And below his post.
Kudos to @jororaitchev for his achievement.My DIY speakers -"J&N"
Hello, A model of my DIY loudspeakers i have served Ti6k- JBL. My first contact with them, was in distant 2005. I started working with them in 2009 and finished in 2012. The loudspeakers are "SEAS"- Excel / Tw-1”, Mw-5”for center 2х 5.5”,Bass-8,5”/ and cross-over parts- "Intertechnik". Nominal...
Smooth!Again not the prettiest but I like the look of the Canton Karat 20 in white. 1987 - 1990
Those are really beautiful, but the name.. Perhaps a stylist worked over Dunlavy SC-IV with better cabinet finish, revised drivers and recessed the MTM arrangement.
