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 ?

I have an old set of Emerald Physics CS2.3 open baffles with two Buckeye NCx500 amps, run through a MiniDSP Flex and its amazing sound, great bass too.  There is no lack of bass.  Dirac helps too. No shortage of frequency range or dB. Highly recommended.  Compared to Magnepan 3.7i  it's more "forceful" or physical sound that can be felt, the Magnepan is refined, not as much "feel" to the bass, not to say it's lacking, just different, refined.
