S-200
In many homes the presence of conventional loudspeakers
seems incongruous and obtrusive. Where careful consideration has
gone into creating an elegant living space, the introduction of
awkwardly proportioned and unsightly boxes and the necessity for
these to be positioned optimally to achieve an acceptable level
of performance can, for some, involve too much of a compromise to
be viable.
More recently various flat panel loudspeakers have
been developed but, while partly satisfying the requirement for
discretion, their performance leaves much to be desired.
