A panel-form loudspeaker according to claim 2, characterized in that the resilient suspension is of an elastomeric material. 4. A panel-form loudspeaker according to any preceding claim, characterised in that the baffle is formed as an enclosure having an open backed front box portion adapted to be mounted on a wall or the like. 5. A panel-form loudspeaker according to claim 5, characterised in that the front box portion (52) is adapted to be mounted to align with a cavity in the wall. 6. A panel-form loudspeaker according to any preceding claim, characterised in that the radiator comprises a lightweight core separating a pair of high modulus lightweight skins. 7. A panel-form loudspeaker according to any preceding claim, characterized by a subwoofer mounted to the baffle. 8.
