It's been an interesting day. Darrel (Ro-Blower on the Decware Forum) brought his new prototype open baffle speakers over today. These are a very retro looking speaker that is definately not your run of the mill speaker. They are actually quite cool looking. Here's some pics.

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.
