Title: New option for F-15 and W-15 baffles
Post by Randy in Caintuck on 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 8-)

Very best,

Geno

Hi Randy!

So being square is "in" :)

Did you spend some quality time with the square baffles before shipment? Notice any notable differences?

Cheers!

John

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

I have to agree with your stubbornness Randy. Bouncing a spherical wave off a rectangular surface can't end well ::)
