Fringe for sure. OB appeals to counter-culture types, as in 'Boxes? Boxes??? We don't need no stinking boxes!' But if you're going to go low and loud you do need boxes. Even better, horns.

And for most home audio types, so are horns - Edp 15:09:06 07/10/23 (0)
Along with single driver types, all are niche in home audio.

Doesn't mean that they are either inferior or superior, just not as many takers as mid to low efficiency speakers.

And open baffle bass and sub woofers have many Mark's that are able to do bass very well simply with large xmax and transfer functions on signal.

Well measured, well understood and several outstanding Mark's or home audio available.

None for sound reinforcement or pro audio I know of though

Maybe a H-frame?

  No matter the shape any baffle that allows the front and rear waves to meet (without one or the other first having a 180 degree phase shift, for instance with bass reflex) will give the same result.
no argument from me :) (nt) - mhardy6647 15:29:56 07/09/23 (0)
