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 ?

@terraplane8bob I totally agree, I've never heard an unamplified musical instrument have tight low bass like some amplifiers and speakers produce.

According to the video they are Lii Audio PT-10/W-15.

I know they are certainly far from cheap, but they just don’t do it for me. Maybe it’s the track. IIRC, I have that one on CD and will have to listen on my system.

@coltrane1 Sorry friend, but I have made and measured open baffle subwoofers and there is no mystery here. If you think what your listening too sounds good you have a lot left to experience, which is a good thing.

@mijostyn , well let’s see, I’m a jazz pianist and play jazz guitar fairly well, on top of being an audiophile for 50 plus years. Maybe you’re right, I have no idea about sound or music. 

I'm thinking of getting into open baffles. Looking at a pair of Lii Song Liionidas. Anyone had any experience with these?
