We all like music right?
WRONG! We all like big sound, showing off with speakers. We do not like music as natural as it should appear from a musical instrument or from a human voice. How otherwise we then like doped sound from cabinets. Why we like thumping sound of the song Hotel California when actually hardly any speaker recreates actual sound what it should be from a Congo. On top of that we add room reverberation colour too.
We are middleclass Indian who might be reading it right now. We do not have much money to treat our room to make it a proper listening room.
Why not then use the same untreated room in to advantage by using an Open Baffle speaker. Open baffle speaker use the rear sound reproduction to its advantage to create a holographic 3D sound image. Thus you will earize (a term I just coined out to replicate feeling of visualize with our ear).
In other words, OB speakers use our small room to create sound image.
Yes OB speakers need to be 3 feet away from front wall when you are listening to it. But you can always push it back to wall when you are not listening to it. Simple middle class attitude.
And what you get?
Realistic sound reproduction with least amount of expenditure.
Well then how little will be the real expenditure?
Even spending 5K INR can give you OB stereo speaker set which can easily beat a 20K branded cabinet speaker. The best part is you can get it done with your local carpenter and local dealer of drivers (speakers what we generally call them). And can continue tweeking it to make it sound better.
Open baffle is the easiest speaker to get it made locally. It is the most forgiving design as well.
Yes, like all other speakers it works best when placed away from side wall (at least by a foot for each side). So do the same for OBs too, you will be alright. And yes, they should be 3 feet away from your front wall.
Enjoy music.
