Open Baffle Speakers


My friend sent me an email re: this design and it certainly sounds interesting.
Does anyone have any experience with this design?
Strenghths and weakness?
Can they do bass?
In general, how do they work?
Thanks!

You could probably find some alons/nolas to listen to if you're interested... mine have really natural midrange.
Greh:

There is a lot of interesting discussion going on at the Audio Circle, REDwineaudio, Decware, and Omega Speakers site re: your very same question-open baffle speakers. That type of speaker design and a new product from Red Wine Audio made for some interesting commentary and wound up with a review at 6moons.com that was positively gushing. Your answer may lie there. It certainly piqued my interest.

Thanks to all for your responses.
Sean, good to see you posting again, just like "back in the day."
Nonoise, I was recently directed torward the 6 moons review.
I'll be ready for new spkrs. in about 4 months and though OB spkrs. were never on my short list, they are now!
I at least gotta audition them.
I heard that some have the characteristics of a Quad.
Should be interesting.
Thanks again.
