It occurred to me when fitting some new car speakers that a dual
concentric design would be ideal for this use. But they all seem to have
tweeters just stuck on the front. Any reason why this design has fallen
out of favour?

**Perhaps people have finally discovered what I found a few decades ago:
They sound like ****. Given that midrange frequencies are being bounced
off the back of the tweeter, the result ends up sounding like a pig's
breakfast. I've never heard a decent dual concentric car speaker. Perhaps
it's due to the shockingly bad crossovers used. Maybe it's just the
cheap, crappy drivers.

what about in home audio then......cant say ive liked the sound of any of
kef d/c designs that much

**AFAIK, the KEF (and other) products don't bugger up the sound by placing
the tweeter in front of the bass/mid driver. Having said that, I can't get
excited about any dual concentric driver I've ever heard. Including the much
vaunted Tannoys.
