Any Interest in ("Manzanita-like") Open Baffle Speaker -

June 21st, 2021, 9:08 pm

Selling a pair of Open Baffle speakers based on what might be one of the longest threads at diyaudio.com (2,600+posts).

These aren't very efficient (approx 80-ish db) - but can produce some seriously good sound for the money.

Asking $300, which is basically the cost of parts. The woofers and tweeter are all currently out of stock for the next month or two.

These were built using 18mm 13-layer Baltic Birch plywood + solid Koa wood sides.

I've included some pictures below, as well as measurements (gated - so please disregard below 500hz) to the left and right of the speaker, and well as the average response from -30 to +30 in the horizontal window.
