Open Baffle Experience

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?

Let’s see here — on the dipole side we have Nola, Vandersteen, Spatial, Magnepan, Martin Logan, SoundLabs, etc, and on the other side we have…kenjit.  Hmmm.  I for one would love to see kenjit debate the great minds behind all these very successful speaker designs.  That’d be a real hoot.

You can't be serious. 99% of high end speaker designs are NOT open baffle they are boxes. They are all on my side. I have already named many of them. B&W, KEF, FOCAL, DYNAUDIO, MAGICO, WILSON

Back to our scheduled programming…

@kenjit So, I’d love to hear you tell Richard Vandersteen, Carl Marchisotto, Jim Winey, Dr. Roger West and Dr. Dale Ream, and Gayle Sanders among others why they’re wrong.  That would indeed be fun.  I’m sure your IQ and experience is superior to these misled speaker manufacturers, so it’d be really fun to hear you correct them and put them in their place.  Troll City.  Population you.  

We read in this thread a redundant dimension of about 3’ off front wall as a minimum with OB.

I wonder if less distance (approx. 2’) with heavy drapes behind might work…

or ruin the intended response? Anyone try this?
