Open Baffle Experience
Much has been said about open baffles, including an epic website by the late, great Dr. Linkwitz but I've only heard them really once, playing absolutely garbage music (thanks Pure Audio!) at a hotel.
I'm talking here about dynamic drivers in single baffles without enclosures, not ESLs or Magneplanar type systems.
I'm curious who has had them, and who kept them or went back to "conventional" boxes?
I'm not really looking to buy speakers, but I did start thinking about this because of a kit over at Madisound made with high quality drivers.
I switched to OB speakers (Emerald Physics) a while ago, and I don't think I could ever go back to a box speaker. They need lots of room to breathe and placement can be tricky, but they sound absolutely glorious when you get them dialed in. Anyone who tells you differently is talking out of their ass.

@kenjit , I invite you to come on over and hear what I’m hearing from my OB setup. You don’t have, nor have you ever heard a pair of properly set up OB speakers, have you? Your ignorance is monumental, and it’s showing. Might want to slow your roll.... You couldn’t possibly be wrong, could you? No, everyone else posting in here is clueless, and you know everything there is to know about speaker design, lol. This place cracks me up. You’re not here to learn anything, you’re here to jam your mis-founded beliefs down people’s throats. Behold: The Idiot Savant. Or is that.....just the village Idiot?
