Romy,
Can you expand a little more on what the issue with dipole bass is and what it does incorrectly? I'm still not sure I know exactly what you mean (and I've had a look at some of your other comments on the site).
What sonic aspects in particular? Eg, that all that out-of-phase energy ends up screwing the decay/reverb?
Maybe I'm apporaching this from a moronic angle but jsut trying to understand exactly what it is you don't like.
I'm building an enormous open baffle array at the moment, on the basis that some back and sides would make it a very capable sealed system...
First impressions with a small test baffle are that the "sponginess" of orchestral bass is absent. Or maybe just the low end itself...
cheers
