Although the back horn seems to sound a little lower or deeper, it is a little congested compared to Open Baffle. Room design, size and acoustics will probably determine what works best!
@bentnissen Nirvana 12" seems to be big for OB. Find out your favorite sounds through cut and try by corrugated board baffle. Corrugated board is an ideal material for OB baffle plate.
Wonderful ... especially the OBs! Maybe better than the Stereo Sound / JE Labs version? Dunno -- I'd like to build a pair, actually. Do you have plans by any chance? I'd appreciate it so much ... thanks!
Excellent video. I've been wanting to get an idea what these types of speakers sounded like. Open baffle definitely sounds more open and natural. Actually felt like there was a cello 1m away from me at times. Does seem to be missing some low end presence. The horns provide ultra warmth but seem to present a lot of box colouration and resonance which is quite distracting. Are they a closed box design? Any dampening?
@duffski77 The colouration and resonance caused by room echo. This horn type speakers desiged by Nagaoka Tetsuo, named Swan. Probably over thousands DIYer have made this. 8 feet long folded horn comressed into lower box. The horn, has no dumping and no absorbent, characterize its sounds.
Open baffle..... too easy. Next question.

I like the first pair very much. Visually striking, and they seem sonically pure. Any build details available?

A horn is still an enclosure and can never equal the neutral presentation of OB.

The open baffle concept is nice. You should put up some sound dampers behind them on the wall to get rid of the echo. Nice setup!

スワンの低域の伸びは口径を考えると驚異的ですね。バランスが良く、開放的な響きもあります。オープンバッフルは非常に開放的ではあるけど、バランスがいま一つ。バッフルの面積不足とユニットのオーバーダンプな性格が原因と思います。スワンはＢＨとして完成度の高いＳＰであるのに対し、このＯＢは失礼ながら試作の域を出ていないように思われ、公平な比較とは言えない気がします。興味深い動画ではありますが。

@openbaffle3さん、この平面バッフルはかなりハイアガリで鳴ってます。テレビ音声、女性ボーカルはスワンより聞きやすいのでビックリしてます。しかし確かにお遊びで作ったので割りきって聞く必要があります。高域をイコライジングすると艶のあるオーディオ向きに変身するかもしれません。Q値の大きいSICAの16cmも持ってますので取り替えて変化を楽しもうと思ってます。
