I like this iteration of the ABX baffles I like the notion of building your own speakers I have a couple speaker projects in the works The ABX baffles make sense to me on every level Sound quality, price/value, DIY, low power SE tube amplifier compatible Yes, yes, yes, and yes

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@middleearthltd Man, I’m with you. 😁😁

[@felipeneri3364]

Thanks for all the work you do, where I can buy the speakers and the crossover parts, and plans?

[@abxaudiophiles]

Lots of info on our website and Discord.. Cheers

[@edholmwood2263]

Sweet! I wish I could hear them. Thank you my friend.

[@abxaudiophiles]

Oh yea!! You could build them... Wink Wink.. ;)

[@johnezzard680]

What is the music playing? Sounds good!

[@abxaudiophiles]

Cant remember the song, playlists is on our website. :)

[@rodgercoble1100]

Were you using the compression cones with the 12"?

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@rodgercoble1100 Not in the beta versions. But I have them here.

[@deanusahardtail]

Hi. What's the distance between the 10 and 12 inch? Overall height of baffle baffle without bottom clamps attached? Always like the videos and work y'all put in for US. I guess it's not Work but passion. Thank You

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@deanusahardtail You’re welcome ☺️ I recommend to follow the exact plans on the La dolce audio website.

[@craigtodd8297]

I would like to experiment putting two speakers in a sealed enclosure back to back wired out of phase. I know it works really well with subwoofers but I havent tried mid range.

[@abxaudiophiles]

Always fun to experiment. 👌👌

[@CashGravel]

Once you go to ribbon tweeters open baffle, etc. you never go back to the box

[@abxaudiophiles]

I do love me some ribbon tweeters.. :)

[@earl007]

Hi do you have any idea how long the bottom woofer for the baby baffle will be out of stock. As from end of Aug. is not available. Cheers

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@earl007 we are still beta testing. It’s never been released to anyone other than us beta testers. Hopefully soon.

[@abxaudiophiles]

INSANE !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@craignehring]

I was just talking about open baffle systems from an old Philips book from the late 60's This is pretty cool

[@abxaudiophiles]

That is awesome Craig!! Such a fun technology and so easy to do for most DIY guys and the reward is immense. :)

[@wrongIQ]

It would be nice to have an example of sound without subs

[@abxaudiophiles]

100 videos of it in our Discord

[@wrongIQ]

@@abxaudiophiles got you! will check

[@drfubars]

Hi, would you mind listing the track name at the start of your video? 👍🏻

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@drfubars landmark by Antonio Forcione

[@drfubars]

@@abxaudiophiles thanks 👍🏻 excellent track.

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@drfubars You are welcome.. :) Great tune for sure..

[@craigtodd8297]

I tried open baffle 20 years ago. Didnt work for me.

[@abxaudiophiles]

Some baffles are better than others for sure, as is any speaker really. Maybe you just didn’t hear the right set. 😊😊👌

[@alexandervaneijken7741]

Open baffle,the latest hype in the audiophile community. What next?

[@abxaudiophiles]

If in "Latest hype" you mean since like the 1950's HELL YEA

[@JC.LC.]

How much to build those?

[@abxaudiophiles]

The baffles were about $40. The 10" coax driver is about $500 a pair. The 12" drivers will probably be a smidge more, but they are still in BETA testing with me right now. The tweeters start at about $200 a pair, and the crossover, depending on the parts you choose, starts around $100 for the pair and runs up to about $500 for the one I built. So about $1500

[@JC.LC.]

@abxaudiophiles that's not bad if they are high-level performing. I'm definitely curious about them.

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@JC.LC. Oh yea, the baffles we are building, especially my full size ones that can be built for about $2000 better most speakers I’ve heard under $10,000 a pair.

[@jaysullivan9545]

Very nice. I think yer on to somthin here buddy. Kinda sounds a bit like my Quads. Wuf. 🐻

[@abxaudiophiles]

A journey for us all.. :)

[@PaoloCaminiti]

Interesting project, the bridge is not a good streamer thought. Funny I got the DSD dac and the LTA at the moment, can't decide which one I prefer.

[@abxaudiophiles]

Actually the Bridge is a great streamer. Beat out the Lumin U1 mini and the Denafrips ARCE in a panel of five listeners during a comparison. The LTA Aero Dac is a really nice piece with a good presence to it.. Considering the DSD is only $1600 right now and how high it punches, I probably wont be dropping $3,800 on the AERO, but if i did not have the DSD, I would probably consider it for sure, its a killer DAC at the price.. Ours is a review unit sent to us by LTA.. ;)

[@abxaudiophiles]

LETS GO!!! :)

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Now experiment with subwoofer placement Firstly get them off the floor!! Preferably at different heights, yes it won't look pretty and symmetrical.

[@abxaudiophiles]

Thanks for the tips! The subs measure well there and are placed per the manufactures recommendations.. :) Cheers - Next time you are over and actually in room, we can mess around with placement..

[@CurlyHoward928]

They've got amateur written all over them.

[@bengleason508]

Kinda the point of a beta speaker isn’t it?

Howard, thank you for the amazingly insightful comment. I am glad you are a part of our awesome community and I wish you the best! Cheers buddy, and keep on being you.. ABX.... :)

[@thinkIndependent2024]

I love this hobby, I prototype in PVC boxes lined with copper shielding for my DAC, Power Supplies, Amplifiers , Noise Suppression, Audio Jewelry just adds shine. But it won't make it SOUND BETTER experimental is cutting edge I built a pair of dipoles that float on gel filled outriggers. ABX ROCKS!!! the cutting edge!!! Loving the early peek thanks again.

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@thinkIndependent2024 Heck yea!! That is awesome! Happy to share with you all.. :)
