Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY?


I see a few hybrids from Vandersteen and Spatial Audio, but not much else.

Yes, I decided to go DIY with OB subs in order gain fill-in from an open floor plan. So, no corners for my main speakers. In my case, speaker distance from my front wall was not an issue, so the subs are over four feet out.

As bdp24 mentions above, I went with the GR Research/Rythmik solution, and I used Jay (captainhemo) who offers the cabinet kits. I had him assemble mine, because he also had the veneer work done and finished for me to match my main speakers. Not just great sound that solved my issue, but I love how these OB subs look, but realize that's subjective. I will be adding grills as I'm trying to pull off a sixties British/American look (LOL). I have construction and finished pictures in my system's page if anyone is interested.

Kalali,
Thanks, it's been over 50 years in the works. I'm not a man of great means, so doing the slow crawl forward.
I'm close to getting there, I mean for real for me!
