Classic15 TB Duet, open baffle bi-amped speakers set - PureAudioProject
I found it inspiring! Maybe it can provide us with some ideas on improving our open baffles? Clearly they are watching us!
Other than the baffles being a bit small for optimal results they are very nice. If I had the money I might just purchase these.

Check out Hawthorne audio. Pure audio project uses their drivers on some of their products.
They have great open baffle drivers for diy and they also have built speakers available. Their fflagship speaker are the rainiers and cost around $12k. I use their auggies driver as subs. And their silver iris 15" (woofers only) in an mtm configuration with isophon ph2132e. They are great drivers for open baffle.
in the attached pics, mtm configuration is not optimized, i just slapped drivers in an existing cutout to see how they would sound. The auggie driver are on the top. These drivers are fantastic.
I'm in no way affiliated with Hawthorne audio. I just love their drivers

>>> too bad they are so physically dominating...
This is why I like the modular design. I have built OBs and they are usually very large. The latest is 20" wide by 45" tall. I wouldn't want to be caught bringing it into a new apartment. But a modular design with a separate bass and main baffle could easily be transported and carried into any home without looking like an enormous speaker. Also, once an OB is setup it's relatively unobtrusive. They are not very deep (even tho they require space behind the speaker) and look slim from all angles but the front. Since I love the sound of OB I want to include it into the setup of my room.
Anyone have any thoughts on the modular design?

Dear Mr. ALF,
the dimensions of Dipole are 125 cm x 34 cm x 34 cm.
The wood "lamellare" is realized with three layers of 9 mm each.
All the workmanships are realized with machine CNC 5 axle ... this machine have costs of 380 € every hour of job !!!.
Three layers of paint + three layers of polish.
Wire of connection of high quality.
The passive filter is totally different from all the passive filters that I have see ... is three way and utilize only one coil Mundorf foil (only for woofer), capacitors in Teflon for the passage of the signal and carbon resistors of power.
Superior sensibility to 88 dB, maximum power 40 Wrms and cost 2000 €.
The musicality is indescribable ... a very small dipole that reproduces very well the very low frequencies ... better of almost totality of acoustic boxes of the sounds room !!!
The construction is of extreme quality and precision.
Very rigid and not heavy !!!
All loudspeakers are of ING. ELENA BANU !!!

Hi,
Allthough they give some visual relief, the gaps in the
main panel and gaps to the floor are not good things.
Wouldn't be hard to improve the aesthetics of an OB
without compromising principles with some imagination.
rgds, sreten.
I still wonder, how "bad" such gaps would really be. Do you know of anybody who actually measured the difference - and what was the outcome?
