New option for F-15 and W-15 baffles (Read 2153 times)

Randy in Caintuck Seasoned Member Tube be ... or not tube be ... it's a no-brainer. Posts: 973	New option for F-15 and W-15 baffles 02/21/23 at 17:42:19 A customer recently requested baffles for the Lii Audio F-15 and W-15 drivers in a "rectangle" shape. This was something that I hadn't considered in the past ..... but after building them I decided that there might be others who would welcome this option ..... Larger photos here and here. Happy listening, Randy

Hey Randy!

I like those. That gives buyers another cool option.

I’ll bet they will be popular too.

You certainly offer a large variety now!

I was looking at the internet the other day, and a fellow in Poland had posted pictures of his homemade barrel shaped baffles. You certainly have made your mark on the audio world - far and wide Cool

Very best,

Geno

Hey Geno,

Many thanks for the kind words .....

Hi John,

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do any listening before the promised ship date.
Based on other baffles of various shapes that I have built in the past, I still feel that the barrel shaped baffles sound best.
The difference is not "earth shaking", but noticeable with a revealing front end and amplifier.

That's my story ..... and I'm sticking to it .....

Best wishes,
Randy
