Who has dipole speakers? And what are your experiences?
At the moment i have 'Peitho 303' (from Holland), which is a semi dipole. It has a large opening (no bass-port!) at the back, right after the mid/woofer. It says that it's like a dipole up to 4kHz. (Years ago i had 'Magnepans SMGa').
I use a good valve-amp with it.
The sound is very open/free/3 dimensional/exciting. It lacks real thumping bass, but it still produces very deep precise bass, and almost no 'booming bass'.
The rest of the spectrum is wonderfully open, clean and silky (no sharp ss-es).
