open baffle project!
This is 2 pics of my open baffle project!
Not yet finished, the bass section will be in closed box!

Hi SDF - Looks very nice so far - I'm interested because I also use the ESS AMT1 mid-tweet on my speakers. Please share what you are doing for cross-overs and listening impressions with us. I keep looking for where you have hid the wires
Also - your impression of having the AMT mounted into the baffle - I intend to do mine with the it simply mounted on top.
Is your mounting of the AMT a bit recessed from the baffle to align it with the wooofer? Clever lad - I like it!

Hi c2cthomas !
About crossover, I've just made some tests only.. and in the simplest way, using DCX2496 (...the easiest solution😱) It allows too, to adjust phase (delay)
For the wire 😀... I have not yet installed the binding post which will may be neutrick speakon socket in fact..I don't have make my choice 🙄
..all in all, I've trying to find a good compromise, to me, between design (not too big, not too ugly...) and "performance" so I don't planned to use the PHL2460 (8feet driver) under 120Hz!
Thanks for your kindly comments 🙂

It was in first time for time align yes..but I must admit I don't remenber the frequency which was calculate for! 😕 (..my actif crosover will be my "saver"
)SDF: what midrange driver are you using there? Looks like a 10" (?)
I would think that you'll get better polar response from the ESS/Heil driver by just putting it on top with no baffle? Thats what ESS did with it, and I think it a good idea.

I use PHL2460, it's a 8".

...and better again will be the ESS stand alone because it won't be disturb by vibration of the baffle (which decrease the precision of treble) but in my case I don't want cause it makes the speakers ugly 😡
I have a pair of PHL 2520 8" midrange drivers that I bought used. Do you know anything about them? I've been thinking about trying them in an open baffle/dipole design or an open back midrange-type design.
Welcome on PHL audio web site
The PHL2520 is an extremelly gooddriver with high efficience but the bad side is it is not usable under 200Hz :-(
...PHL2520 is a kind of big PHL1120.
With a boost If think it's interesting to test them on an open baffle (..even if the qts is not perfecly appropriate to OB)!

....also used in an "upscale speaker"😀

Big bump for a good thread.......
>> Here's a link << to a long thread of pictures. Most of the pictures are of open baffle speakers using Hawthorne Audio drivers, but there are a couple of amps and turntables mixed in there. Either way, there's lots of open baffle eye candy in there.

And my old project, still running nicely for over 3 years, without changes.

Someone has posted Linkwitz Orion on Youtube.

Absurd as it may sound, I can hear differences in room interaction between dipole and box speakers from various clips in YouTube.

Great videos, thank you for the links.
