Open baffle speakers

I own two sets of Open Baffle speakers - Legacy Empires and Jamo R909s. The R909s dont need it because of their design, but open baffles are capable of making a healthy amount of low end if you compensate for the low end drop with an EQ. Both of my OB go down into the 30s and kick drums sound huge on them. I dont know if its specifically the fact they’re open baffle, or simply the diameter of their woofers, but kick drums through literally all of my other speakers I have or have owned sound small in comparison. They’re also both extremely tight and have very even response in the low end and midbass... hilariously I think one of the best types of music for open baffles are dance music and modern pop like Tate McRae, when most people running these speakers are listening to orchestral and jazz. The quality and size of low end and midbass is just so good, and the trend in recent productions are large reverb washes and stereo fx that sound great on an open baffle’s soundstage.

Also on both of my OB vocals sound very big.

Jamo R909 uses unusually sensitive woofers so they’re louder than the other drivers by default with a rising response, then a filter in the crossover is used to drop the level of the woofers at exactly the rate of their low end rolloff. The result is a passive open baffle speaker that doesnt need active EQ to make up for a drop in low end.
