A company from Belgium, specializing in cello manufacturing has designed a series of speakers called EHS. These comparitively diminutive floor-standing speakers reportedly use no crossovers, but utilize the fabric cover, which is non-removable except by the company. So, if driver blows, back to Belgium. I owned a pair of "Tenors", the company's flagship, for about two years. Holographic, musical, romantic, but rolled off. For string music, especially small ensembles, the presentation was fabulous. Lay a rock or funk jazz track, though, and the heart of the energy was lost. Costs for these speakers (I'm not sure if they are still being made), range from around $600.00 to $4800.00.
By the way, the cabinet work was top quality and a joy to look at.
