Ultimate Open Baffle Gallery

i have made the phase with a woodturning machine,it's spruce, the felt pads is just furniture pads and the cone is treated/dopped with JOHA oil varnish

Thanks for the reply just curious what is the celestion and compression driver crossed over at is it like the bastanis at 7khz

The celestion is running free😀, on the tweeter has a 1uf+0.01uf

there is no anaomalies, not what i can hear

I am still waffling between open baffle single drivers without or with helper tweeters.
Just now I've stuck with some independently mounted and aimed 1 inch 4 ohm domes, with 2uF caps bypassed with some 0.01uf foil in wax paper caps I've had for ages.
I'm surprised at still gradually preferring less and less upper treble. I've gone from 8 ohm more efficient tweeters with the same few caps to 4 ohms , for more efficiency and higher frequency.

Iteration of my own system. Revolves around Vifa P13WH mid and tweeters, cheap woofers from Jaycar, and another pair I found on the side of the road

My first was very easy. Large room allows large baffle. Very satisfiying.

Hi! Fisrt time in DIY audio forums and came across this thread with your open baffle builds. Wondering if you have a build thread I can follow? Especially interested in the build in the final picture and wondering if these are successful as close to the wall as you have pictured them?

Hi all,

here my last stereo setup in a quite normal room where i work in my home office

inspired of a huge horn setup - the Goto drive units cathedral

i tried to combine in my small room a multi horn setup with an open baffle approach

7 way each side:

subwoofer - lower bass - upper bass - lower midrange horn - upper midrange horn - tweeter horn - back firing horn for dipole effect in the range of the front firing horns

given the fact that the listening distance is quite short i am surprised that it works not too bad

i spent hours and hours in a couple of days in taking measurements again and again (Clio pocket) until all 7 ways fits more or less together

That's nuts!

Wow! Looks like we're on different paths! I went from conventional multiways, to isobaric multiways, to multiways with di or bi-pole mids and tweeters, to horn and cone dipole hybrids, to dipole single drivers with conventional sub, to dipole sub, to just open baffle single driver and sometimes an open baffle sub.
These days I'm OCD enough to have problems placing 2 speakers as I like them for all around sources. Good on you for getting this to work for you!
