Open Baffle musings

[inrank]

Anyone used one of the 50mm Bandors, or jordans / simmilar in an open baffle?

Would be used above 600Hz odd as a 'large tweeter' (active crossover). Using xBaffle, on a reasonable size panel (around 400mm) can reach down to 600Hz.

Just an odd idea as a lot of people who have heard the bandors seem to compare them to ElectroStatic Speakers

Is this idea doomed from the outset or actually worth looking into?

And I feel obliged to point out that if you want to do an OB from scratch without wasting an enormous amount of time and money, buying MJK's MathCAD worksheets is $$$ well spent. His OB worksheets model not only the baffle effects, but the room boundary effects as well. And if that isn't enough, the two way OB model includes XO!
