Open Baffle Experience

Steve Guttenberg Audiophiliac has changed his reference speaker form horns to open baffle.

His explanation about why mirrors what most are saying about the open baffle.

Bass was not an issue for him. These speaker actually exposed his lack of construction ability and rattled his room treatments.

The main question is that can you dedicate the space that open baffles require? The going consensus is that they sound better at a minimum three feet from the wall.

@twoleftears For those interested, that track was Birds by Dominique Fils-Aimé from the album Nameless. Nice track.

Infinite baffle is just different.

Its what most high end studios use (though they’ll often call it “flush mounted” or “soffit mounted”)

Of course this is for music creation not home “recreation” for enjoyment.

Most music studios don’t want extra ambience from added ambient reflections which most audiophiles enjoy.

They need to focus on the unaltered sound so as to know what to do to thier mix.

Thats generally for both tracking and mastering ……

@kenjit , I invite you to come on over and hear what I’m hearing from my OB setup.

You don’t have, nor have you ever heard a pair of properly set up OB speakers, have you?

Your ignorance is monumental, and it’s showing. Might want to slow your roll....

You couldn’t possibly be wrong, could you?

No, everyone else posting in here is clueless, and you know everything there is to know about speaker design, lol.

This place cracks me up.

You’re not here to learn anything, you’re here to jam your mis-founded beliefs down people’s throats.

Behold: The Idiot Savant. Or is that.....just the village Idiot?
