My buddy, a long time student of audio reproduction technology, tells me that an Open Baffle speaker is a terrible idea.

Among his critiques:
*The room becomes the enclosure (and it is worse than any speaker box)
*Bass will suffer, because the wavelength is longer than most rooms
*Only good for high frequencies.

What does your experience with PAP speakers and OB in general tell you?

I am interested in PAP because I like the semi-DIY, the ease of bi-amping, and (frankly) the Israel connection. But, I want great bass, too.

Look forward to your comments. Thanks.
