I used GPA 604 drivers in OB for several months. The OB was built per JE's plans and they were used in a 14' x 20' room. I used them with both SE and PP amps.

From this one experience, I would say OBs have two big advantages: First, they are cheap and easy to make. Second, they don't have any box colorations.

The JE OBs also have some disadvantages. I never got used to the perspective---it always seemed like I was in the balcony looking down on the performers. And the response was not as smooth and even as a good box.

I had intended to build some big 9cu ft bass reflex cabinets but ended up selling the 604s instead. The woofer is quite good but I never liked the sound of the compression driver and its horn. There is a discontinuity between the drivers that, once identified, bothered me every time I listened to the speakers. Many people like the 604 so obviously this is not a problem for everybody.
