Open Baffle Experience
Much has been said about open baffles, including an epic website by the late, great Dr. Linkwitz but I've only heard them really once, playing absolutely garbage music (thanks Pure Audio!) at a hotel.
I'm talking here about dynamic drivers in single baffles without enclosures, not ESLs or Magneplanar type systems.
I'm curious who has had them, and who kept them or went back to "conventional" boxes?
I'm not really looking to buy speakers, but I did start thinking about this because of a kit over at Madisound made with high quality drivers.
I dont need you to tell me that. You need to convince @holmz Hes the one disputing that not me.
You cant EQ a cancellation can you?
We are talking OB not IB.
If it was in time, how can it be out of phase? |
@kenjit i agree for 100% , the open baffle desigh is made for folk who is looking for something unsual , The speaker bulders using old idea like new , Nothing magic . Depend of baffle size , sound wave from front cone meet wave from back and kill each other, The best open baffle is infinity size baffle. For size 20-25" you did not get low base, If you dont care about listen as is, If not --get sub , NO BENEFIT Placebo effect |
@kenjit Its apparent that there is something you don't understand. It has to do with the human ear/brain system. When the ear hears a sound, a copy of the sound is made and the ear/brain system looks for other examples in near-time. If it finds an example that is delayed by about 10 mS or so, it can use that for echo-location. If the rear firing information is about 5 feet from the wall behind the speaker, it will arrive at the listener about 10mS after the front wave. This is why speakers with rear firing information can have a more palpable sound stage. So time-alignment has nothing to do with it.
