@mijostyn, every speaker I’ve posted was an open baffle speaker. The problem is I’ve heard each speaker in small rooms, mid sized rooms, and large rooms. Each speaker performed like no other. The disadvantage you have is, you haven’t heard these speakers. The 15” subs were specifically designed for OB’s. I can’t comment on the design of other OB’s. But I can personally vouch for the performance of these. Each speaker was custom made by hand, by an audiophile who was also an exceptional woodworker. Each speaker was built from solid Sapele, or solid Ash. You don’t find this design on the open market, for most OB’s produced today are finished in Veneers.Therefore, there’s no comparison
I understand speaking in generalities. But none of your uncertainty would apply to these OB’s. The quality of them is beyond compare.
