I have a pair of Coral Flat 8A drivers mounted on 32"x38" open baffles. Of all of the speakers I have built, these are my favorites. The sound stage is WIDE, OPEN, and very realistic, especially with acoustic music (bluegrass and old-time are my music genres of choice). Friends who visit comment on how great the speakers sound. I haven't been able to acquire a pair of BETAs as of yet, but this is on the top of my wish list. I'm also in the process of building a pair of open baffles with the Adire WR125S 4.5" drivers. I will post results when finished.

I have a pair of JBL LE8 drivers in the factory BR cabinets (I think these were the Lancer 44 model, I got them without badges). I've heard the LE8 driver works well on an open baffle, so I'm thinking about switching the Corals to the JBL cabinets as an experiment.
