Battle of the Open Baffles


Watching Jay's video today about the Maco Acoustics speakers, and saw the Caladan's late last year.  Seems like open baffle death match is brewing...

I own a pair of spatial Audio x3 and they do sound fantastic. If they had a lacking it would be in the midrange. If you are a DIY person I would HIGHLY recommend looking up ABX-BAFFLES and La-Dolce audio on youtube. Then if you get excited about hearing them join their discord. These have been a game changer! take note my x3 are in the background (yes they are THAT good).

I couldn't agree more. The midrange is the one area that speaker is lacking. But once you hear it, you can't unhear it.

@ricevs What is your website please? I tried to contact you via Agon messaging but that was a no go. I’m in the northern bay area. Thx. 

The Trio 10 with the AMT tweeter is a terrific sounding speaker.  I heard this speaker at this year's Capital Audio Fest.  I also heard, and was particularly impressed with the OB speaker from Cinnamon, a Portuguese company.  This compact system is a three way speaker with an active, DSP controlled woofer module.  It is quite a bit more expensive than most OB systems on the market, but, it is a great sounding system. 

I don’t know what was being run, but they shared the room with a company called AGD, so it probably was their gear.  To me, the PAP speakers were the best bargain at the show.  My other favorites—Songer fieldcoil speaker, Cinnamon open baffle and Voxativ (tall stack of speskers) were all about $30 k or a little more than that.
