I agree that from absolute point of view "yellow driver with wings" is not a great solution. But, there is many types of yellow drivers with quite different specs and a few types of "wings" also exist. I'm not going to deffend this kind of implementation ( not only because I happen to use it at the moment) it is sort of dead end. What it does for me ,it opens my eyes for possibilties. I would have never considered horns by looking at your "coffins" (sorry couldn't resist that ;0) ) or listening to the sound of a starting airplane engine (dr.Edgar's favorite horn test music) or those Oris CAR, Pi, Cain efforts.
Those yellow drivers withg wings are doing well with variety of music ,much better than most commercial offering I heard . I'm listennig to a lot of classical life music now. First time in my life I heard Orchestra sitting in 2-nd row. I would have never know how much of power (lack of better word -impact?? ) it delivers and how much music lives in the bass -mid bass notes and how dry and synthetic (annonymus??)most of the speakers sound in lows.Heck , I know that my system is not capable of properly reproducing cello becouse of crappy mid-bass. So, after a year I came to conclusion that this snob The cat is right ,his graveyard system has intelectual and functional beauty to it and is almost the only way to go. All of that thanks to exposure to those poor yellow drivers with wings with total investment of $ 1600. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
