Open baffle / dipole speakers
Something I've always had problems understanding is how do open baffle speakers produce controlled and weighty low end? Surely the task without an enclosure must be a huge hurdle as there's no cabinet to 'tune' the air waves and there's no 'brake' on the bass drivers which would (in my mind) lead to uncontrollable bass drivers.
So, my boffin type friends, how do the drivers on dipoles differ and how is bass produced from cabinet-less speakers?
