The bass goes somewhat deeper then my own EV open baffles (with my subs off). Theye are down about 4.5 dB at 50Hz. Bass was clean with a natural, uncolored sound, with that certain boxless quality that OB's do so well. The mids were a nice, not overly forward sound that one could listen to all day without listener fatique (we did listen for a good part of the day). The highs were clear and matched the rest of the sound nicely. They had the big soundstage that all OB's seem to have. These speakers are very efficient at about 100dB sensitivity. Drivers used are 15" Eminence Alpha and Pyle bullet tweeter.
For those interested, here's a thread on the Decware forum with more details.

All in all, I had a fun day listening to these.

Sounds interesting. Alpha 15's have real high Q, so I'll bet they sound good on those open baffles. I couldn't access the pictures from the link though, so I couldn't see 'em. Yahoo photos was asking me to sign in to view. Maybe you can set them to be public?

Try this.

I think I should have signed out before copying the link.

The tweeter is a Pyle pro bullet tweeter. The builder and designer of these nice OB's is Darrel Hawthorne, a regular over at the Decware Forum. Here's a thread that I started there.

Sounds really neat! What size capacitor comes with the tweeter?

Wayne

Here is the spec. on that tweeter:
Partsexpress #272-115
pdbt28
correction* 104 db.sen
The assemble is all wrapped up (foam /felt)
but if memory serves me it came with 3.3uf cap.
I ran thru several tweeters and stoped with this one as it had the least compromises/ most potential in the price range I wanted .
Thanks again for the nice words Wayne
