subwoofers and panels don't mix

i have yet to experience a subwoofer that mated well with a panel speaker--ribbon, stat and planar magnetic.

each time i have heard a combination of a cone driver with a panel it sounds like two speakers. the blend is not seamless.

can anything be done to make the transition from cone to panel sound like a one speaker system, rather than reveal 2 different driver types ?

OK, thanks. I thought the drive units were embedded in the wall.

Eldartford describes: "sw drivers mounted in the wall behind it" SO, you're "infinitely baffling" the sw?

If so, I assume you're equalising the s/w via the Behringer - no? Have you checked for phase?
Cheers

Mrtennis notes "i still tend to hear both cone and panel separately ". That's often the case. Don't forget, panels are open baffle while sw are boxes.
BTW, someone describes using an open baffle SW system to pair with stats -- but can't find it.
