I forgot to mention, I use full range ESLs so I am handily in the open baffle club. At higher frequencies it turns out to be an advantage in your average room as you have more control over dispersion and can limit reflections. I do recommend placing acoustic tiles on the wall directly behind the speakers and crossing to subwoofers no lower than 100 Hz. I cross over at 125 Hz and with eyes closed you would never know there were subs in the system. Also many tweeters have closed backs. If this is the case you'll want to add a rear firing tweeter.

Has anyone out there tried these?
They sound intriguing
Are there any/many got-ya's like room size, speaker placement in room, amp size/type etc...
A friend tried DIY open baffle a couple of years ago and they were quite large
My problem at the time was the amount of space I had available. I have since moved into a new house with a much larger listening area - 17' x 42' with 8 ft ceiling
Thanks for any input - Cheers
