Open Baffle Experience

Eric, click on my UN then click on picture to see my OB Emerald Physics 3.4s. You will notice 4 tall black tubes, 2 by the speakers and 2 on each side of my soon to be replaced vertical rack with a horizontal 2" thick solid Maple table. The 2 by the rack have been moved to the opposite sides of the 3.4s. The Oppo 105 was sold, and a LSA Voyager GaN 350 replaced the EVS 1200 and the subs were sold. I have recently rewired the entire system with Ali-E Odin Gold IC/PCs and Odin 2 speaker cables + 2 PCs from Amazon one from 20amp dedicated line to my Core Power 1800 and the Audio Alchemy PS 5, outboard PS

EPs can be picked up rather inexpensively if you have the patience

I used to think as you do about "needing" sub/s. I have Emerald Physics 3.4s OB 12" woofer with 1" concentric tweeters. Since owning them for almost 2 years now I felt the need for sub/s, BUT, I did 2 things recently that flipped my script

1. I upgraded all my cables with Ali-Express Odin 2 and Odin Gold which is HUGE in regards to everything, but especially to lows -mids

2. I’ve had a Solid Steel vertical rack for 15+ years. Just this week I came across a local deal and bought a solid maple table top (5 x 2 x 2"), and I am FLOORED what it does for everything, but especially the bass

I saw a FS ad on USAudio this morning for a pair of Emerald Physics CS 3 MkIIs for a super price. I love love love my 3.4s for under a grand!!! Somebody please grab these
