John, whats GR research?
Ironically, I kept my Kef out about 5 to 6 feet a few years ago and read something by Piere in Mapleshades magazine which talked about moving speakers back to the wall for better bass. I did that and it kept getting more bass the closer I put them. They are now a half foot from the wall. The kefs are about 4 to 5 feet from the side walls.
So I have no problem bringing them out that far. My audio rack is about 4 or 5 feet from the wall.
Sounds like when OB is set up right that box cannot compare for imaging.
Who else makes open baffle? Open baffle speakers are new to me until this thread, though I guess maggies are OB.
I may check out that thread as I have no idea where to start when DIYing a OB speaker.
