Lol, he's not budging.

I bought electric beach frugels a couple of years ago.
They reside in my son system amplified by croft pre/power.
They sound fantastic in a near field set up-he runs super tweaters on the rear firing vertically which make a sizeable difference to the bass....go figure!
Ive not found them overly fussy placement wise.
Colin Wonfor brought a selection of his EWA amps and cables to Ali Tates place last year-i brought my frugels....boy oh boy they werent lacking in anything sonically.
had superb bass from the xl version with alpair drivers , no need for any supertweeters either

Well, there's a turn-up! I have never seen anybody mention the Daline design on this forum before. I had assumed it was totally unloved. It is in fact the loudspeaker I am listening to right now. I got them last year - a bit battered and bruised, but I was thrilled to track down a pair because the idea of putting the drivers from an LS3/5A into a cabinet employing a totally different acoustic principle appealed to me. Mine are the twin driver unit (a B110 and a T27 in each cabinet) and I absolutely love the way they sound. As Geoff points out they have an astonishingly deep bass capability given that the mid/bass driver is only about 5.5ins or something. Very well-balanced and tuneful too. I have now assembled all the parts I need to convert them into the three-driver version that represents the designer's "ultimate" Daline. I have high hopes. As bought, they are a bit scruffy unfortunately, so I need to undertake some cosmetic rehabilitation. That's a new area for me, but should be interesting. I'll post some pictures if they come out anything like.

Chris,
I went for the copper coloured Alpair drivers.
Should be thread on her somewhere with photos-lovely looking speakers finished to a really high standard.
