    I suppose it would help if we could bolt the damm thing on straight....

    I'll let Pano post his impressions if he feels like it. Otherwise, we left late and Dennis was still sitting there listening to them.....

    It looks top-heavy. Consider the possibility of a child pulling it over, upon himself. This was a problem with some large screen TVs.

    I wish you well in this venture.
    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    Appreciate the advice. This was just something we threw together yesterday afternoon for testing. Any finished version would have a substantial plinth designed for stabilization. But it's definitely heaver up top than the other speaker type....

    Here is the listening position graph of the Open Baffles. The MTM Inspire and the prototype crossover on the 604 open baffle. I think that the peak at the bottom is a room mode.
