Is there really a need for panel speakers in 2012

On the contrary, I find many new box speakers to be only marginal and panel makers should continue sleeping well at night. I have had 3.6, 1.6 maggies, monitor and numerous floor standing speakers. All have some sttribute and limitation. My maggies took up less space than my Aerial 10 T, but I feel both made music. I find many modern speakers tilted up and less bloom than I prefer. Perhaps different amplification could remedy this but many rooms I visit at shows are on the hot side. Different tastes for different ears, Jallen

To clarify, my response is to the original question, not 6550C with who I agree with. JALLEN

Panels...RULE!

Taters, conventional cones cannot reproduce the sound of an orchestra like panels can. Have you ever heard massed strings through a panel? That alone is a very good reason to have panels.

Taters brought up A.A (Audio Asylum) where he regularly gets banned. Right now i think he has three weeks to go on the current ban.
When someone over there mentioned Taters was Sudz. I though no way. Over here i thought he asks reasonable questions..
Nope. Back to the same sort as were on A.A.
Oddball questions meant only to elicite some response. with no actual redeeming value.
At least they can be fun for all...
