Actually, he *could* accommodate Scintillas by using
a little trick which I discovered, and which you'll see
explained at http://www.lurcher.org/ukra/

It only works with planars which have the tweeter down
one edge, and mirror imaged. Basically, he will *not*
obtain the sound of an ESL with any box speaker, since
most of the difference is in the dipole dispersion pattern.

I respectfully disagree. The superiority of good planar speakers is due to the
superiority of their drivers, and is audible even if the rear wave is damped.
