PLEASE,
don't show a measurement graph with a picture, that does not illustrate the situation when measuring. The illustration will always dominate the graph in our visual reception - inevitably leading to wrong conclusions.
It would have been better to just show the graphs and giving the details of placement (of driver on baffle and baffle in room) by words.

Maybe people should stop looking at fancy photos and start listening to music.
I am a believer that a picture tells a thousand words so I think it is important to show pictures.
Besides I have to keep Zen Mod happy. He likes looking at porn. :rofl:
 
so, open baffle with driver at bottom = floor enhanced bass but high frequencies at level of feet not your ears. open baffle with driver at top = rolled off bass. No win.

That is one way of looking at it, you could always angle (like I have) the baffle so the ear is on axis at the seating position or you mignt decide to go the FAST route. Anyway I have many more ideas to explore yet. This is just an introduction.
 
SEAS FR on PHY Open Baffle

Here is Seas FA22 on PHY Open Baffle

EDIT: I couldn't do 8 feet high. The tallest I could fit in my small car was 6 feet, so it is 6 feet high with 40cm wide centre baffle with 50cm wings.
Centre of driver is 95cm above ground
