In Reply to: Open baffle and front horn, sound differences posted by Inkasound on April 3, 2007 at 01:07:30:
I've tried the same 10" speaker on OB (a few different ways, with lots of midbass support) and in a rather large front horn (with sub).Fronthorn = more natural. Less excursion / less strain at high volumes.
Fronthorn = more involving. For me involving and "realistic" SPL are kinda synonomous.
OB interacts MUCH more with room acoustics. It kinda defines them.Soundstage, natural etc don't mean much to me, I like rock and techno :-)
As an aside, I found that in a front horn, a tweeter is required for off-axis listening, whereas on OB, I could be a way off axis, and the highs would be OK.
