Open baffle speakers


Open baffle speakers design is the simplest , to get bass response similar to other design , like ported, the baffle size must be huge to avoid low frequency degradations . Tipical size the baffle   width 10-20"  got weak  bass performance.   I am wondering how open baffle speakers design became so popular ?

@ozzy62 I owned the Spatial Audio X5 speakers a few years ago and loved them, but I didn’t like the built-in active subwoofers and they sounded thin in the midrange and bass.  The X5’s were nice, but they were kind of bright until they made some adjustments and added a resistor to tame the AMT tweeter.  I was going to buy the Spatial Audio X4, but changed my mine and went back to a box speaker. I still love OB speakers.  I think we chatted briefly on AudiogoN or Audio Circle back when you had the X3’s.

How do your Qualio IQ speakers compare to the X3’s you owned?
 

 

@ozzy62 I know exactly what you mean concerning the midrange sound of the Spatials.  I’d like to hear the Qualio IQ speakers one day.

Thanks!
