I ran open baffles for years, first Dahlquist DQ10 and then various models of Alon/Nola, also ran a number of sealed box, finally Klipschorns which I modified over the years, finally my nephew presently running Spatials. I like open baffles for their natural sound staging, but they simply can't match the immediacy, speed, macro dynamics of horns, large horns simply fill the room with living breathing life size performers. Thing with horns is getting them to image, sound stage, present natural timbre, this where my mods needed. Another thing I like about horns is the ability to run with low watt SET, beauty along with all that speed, immediacy.
