This is my first post in around 14 years, I now have the time being retired and having all my big projects out of the way to have some fun with DIY audio.
So now to the point. I've seen a few vids on DMLs and there are big variances in the way people feel about the results, I think the concept has merit, but I expect from my past experience with Open Baffles that there is a wealth of subtle things that can be implemented to change the character of the speaker sound.
Of the top of my head, these might include: various panel types, driver placement, multiple size panels for bass and mid/treble, panels with holes in them and small tweeters in the hole, multiple drivers on single panels, various coatings, wall treatments behind the panels, wings mounted outside the panels to improve bass/mid, support options, partially textured panels, and probably a whole array of other items as well.
I haven't come across any site/vid where anyone has done fully comprehensive testing and I suspect we may be well short of what can be achieved, but then I'm just coming back so maybe there is something truly comprehensive out there.
Can anyone suggest some links? Thanks in advance.
