@ozzy62 I know exactly what you mean concerning the midrange sound of the Spatials. I’d like to hear the Qualio IQ speakers one day.
Thanks!
Open baffle speakers
Open baffle speakers design is the simplest , to get bass response similar to other design , like ported, the baffle size must be huge to avoid low frequency degradations . Tipical size the baffle width 10-20" got weak bass performance. I am wondering how open baffle speakers design became so popular ?

Bache, Which commercial OB speaker did you hear that you found wanting in bass response? What was it like otherwise? I am surprised by how decent bass can be even with the dipole cancellation and the lack of reinforcement from bass reflex or sealed box loading. This is not the case with all OB speakers I heard, but the good ones convince me that it is possible. |
It seems that @bache has a habit of starting controversial threads about OB speakers. Not a good look for a manufacturer who builds a competitive design. |
Why do I get the feeling that the OP doesn't really want to learn anything, and only wants to argue, or try to prove he's the smartest guy in the room? "If you dont believe in acoustic silence and only trust what you are hearing , stop reading my post and keep enjoy in bass performance open baffle design . " Well, of course I only trust what I am hearing. What else would I trust? Some link you posted that I'm not going to read? I'm not even sure what that means. So.....you asked a question on why OB speaker designs became popular. You received well over a dozen replies from real-world listeners, people with real-world experience. And you want to argue (in broken English, mind you...) that they don't sound good? That they're bass-shy? Why don't you try a pair for yourself and then get back to us. Thanks, and have a great day. |
