so.. Here on AC we obviously have 2 popular open baffle designs with their own circles. Curious technically how one design is basically  a flat panel with drivers attached and the other is H frames with top end with flares and stuff.  And last weekend I went to the Linkwitz house to hear his speakers and his flagship model is a combo H frame and flat top piece. 

what's up with these different techniques for building open baffle speakers.

"Be prepared for a sound very different from what we usually hear from a slimline modern speaker. Besides the phenomenal bass dynamics, wide baffles provide a different soundstage giving a window to the music, rather than bringing the music into the room. These are very simplified statements to try pinpoint differences. Some more comments and thoughts about wide and narrow baffle here."
