…Or a non-existant wife.
Heh, I can't complain. She's been slowly indoctrinated...speakers she used to think are ugly she now thinks are OK. Of course these don't quite hit that bar, only rating a mere "they're not too horrible...."
It's a non-issue now since deciding the new living room will have a baffle wall so they'll be hidden behind cloth anyway. Boy, did that simplify the speaker search. And it'll be nice not to have a living room that looks like a musician's man-cave.
Those look like they'd be just about perfect ... for a high school baseball stadium!!!
Of course, if you live on a farm and want to rock-out while you're plowing the fields...
Capable of 125 db each.... Mmmm, headroom!
I kinda checked out cos of the open baffle on those... plus, never seen a photo of the actual project.
Thanks for posting the link!!!
Yeah, though they look like they might be, they're technically not open baffle. Both the compression driver and midrange are sealed-back. So they each have their own little "boxes" attached to the back of the horn. You can put them in a box, and some do to make it one integrated unit, but they won't sound any different.
That's one of the things that attracted me to these--you can build them in numerous ways to whatever fits what you're trying to do. There's a very good chance I'll build the bass bin on the center about 10" shorter so that it'll fit under a TV/non-AT screen while still matching the L&R and performing much better than any horizontal center ever could.
