Anyone using baffless speaker with a full range?


I am intrigued with some esoteric drivers, especially the PHY...paired with baffless design. What should I expect sound wise? I have a pair of Fostex Sigmas, nowhere near as interesting as these French drivers. What is the signature of a baffless design? Is there enough low end or does it need to be supplement somehow? Some of the amps that I might use these speakers with are the following:

9 Watt 300B amplifier
10 Watt SS battery/tube powered power supply
20 watt SS integrated (Opamp.)

Any experience would be appreciated!

You might also take a look at the Alon (now Nola) line of speakers designed by Carl Marchisotto -  dipole hybrids, employing an open baffle design for mids/tweeter mounted on a large bass enclosure. I had the  Alon IVs for yeas and loved them - very open, airy un-boxy sound with good bass. Very tricky crossovers as I understand it.
