Open baffle speakers

OK , trust you what you hearing , ,Sorry and happy listening OB speakers. But more listener prefer traditional loudspeaker design ,  

Coke vs. Pepsi.  There is no right or wrong.  Neither type of speaker is unquestionably technically superior.  In my limited experience with a small number or audio enthusiasts, a majority moved to open baffle from box speakers.  All described a more musical presentation closer to live.  All described an evolution away from brand name hype, reviews always positive, focus on specs, and a maturing of  their tastes.  All wished they had discovered open baffle sooner.  I know other enthusiasts that love box speakers.  Listen to what you like.

The OPs "But more listener prefer traditional loudspeaker design" attempt to claim being right and have the last word is meaningless. 

I have both and enjoy both. That is what makes this hobby fun. Hearing what different speakers bring to the table.

My experience exactly. The openness and transparency of the X5s do it for me!

Not my experience exactly. I hear X5 mids as nicely fleshed. Of ourse there’s always the factor of what they are being fed.
