Open Baffle Experience

Out of phase compared to what? It is more like they are focussed way back at infinity.

The front and back waves are not in time with each other. Show me an open baffle that has both back and front in time.

It’s the same speaker cone… it is absolutely in time.
It cannot be “not in time” unless the cone has thickness and is somehow an accordion.

It is OK to have a subjective opinion, but an objective opinion should be based in reality and fact.

I am wondering what measurements would tell us whether these speaker are more or less right than a box speaker??

the frequency response is a mess.

OK, use an EQ… then the FR is perfect.

You had the post about time domain, and a IB is about as good as it gets in transcient response.

this thread is becoming like watching a pathetic jerry springer rerun

why do we even bother engaging with the village idiot?

@bpoletti 

The sound coming from the back of the open baffle speakers IS out of phase with the front, 

I dont need you to tell me that. You need to convince @holmz 

Hes the one disputing that not me. 

OK, use an EQ… then the FR is perfect.

You cant EQ a cancellation can you? 

IB is about as good as it gets in transcient response.

We are talking OB not IB. 

It’s the same speaker cone… it is absolutely in time.

If it was in time, how can it be out of phase?

@kenjit, isn’t the sound coming out of a boxed speaker port also 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
