I heard a set of Spatial speakers, can’t remember the model bit less sensitive ones, at the Pacific Northwest audio show, and was very impressed. I like them more than the linkwitz. I would like to know more about the GR research line. Particularly whether it is still possible to still put together a pair of line force. @jaytor do you know? But also just how they compare to other open baffle offerings.
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.

@jaytor Thanks for the information. That is really helpful. To the naysayers, I heard the X4 speakers at the Pacific Northwest audio show, and they were very impressive for their price. Not out of the park better than any speaker I heard there, but they really stood out for having an organic and natural sound for a lot less money than many of the conventional speakers I heard. I will likely try them out since there is a 60 day audition period, I believe. |
