Open Baffle Experience

“Unless you are prepared to use a sub.....Open baffle are not a good Idea....I have 2 pair and rarely hook them up anymore.”

In my rooms, dual subs (at minimum) are a given… before I even decide which mains I’m going to use.

If all your running is a pair of left and right mains in an average room (with four walls, a floor and a ceiling) and the addition of a couple subs makes  the overall bass response worse…then I’d say you most certainly have either the gain or crossover frequency (or both) of the subs set  too high.

This is only if your in a typical room and therefore have the expected boundary interference.

If you move outside, or even half outside the rules (physics) change

Obviously the degree of room treatments can change the game somewhat, but I still always use both (multiple subs and room treatments) for that clean, tight punchy bass goodness…

For those of us who have owned both box and open baffle speakers at high price if that means something to Kenjit . Not just listened to them at an audio show Open Baffel do a much better job at delivering and a sonic image. Kenjit you should expand you narrow experience before you make unqualified statements.

But, that’s his specialty and sole reason for being.  My guess is he isn’t allowed to leave his padded room enough to get out and actually listen to anything.  Also notice he never discloses what’s in his system.  Hmmm.

He may have more than one system?
