Mr.T:
I would also wager that you, and most anyone, definitely can tell the difference between panels and at least 9 out of 10 cone speakers.
To say they sound like big panels; not in every way, but with the positive attributes of panels, the openness, transparency, and resolution, yes. The very attributes that we value so highly. And without the lobing/beaming, dynamic restrictions, and low frequency limitations.
One such example is the open baffle Linkwitz Lab Orion, and a few other active, omnidirectional designs.
