In Reply to: "However, this reduces sensitivity." Aye, there's the rub! posted by John Marks on July 21, 2024 at 12:54:44:
The usual reason for not eliminating the baffle step typically completely is because you don't even know it's there. As soon as you measure something properly -- anechoically -- it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Furthermore, if you understand the interaction of loudspeaker and rooms -- read any version of Floyd Toole's book -- you'll know if has to be ironed out to get a respectable response.
Otherwise you'll have one of the worst sins a loudspeaker can commit: NO BASS. And if you do further reading on the importance of bass response based on the research of Toole and later Olive, you'll find out that, all things being equal, the speaker that produces deeper bass is the one favored by listeners.
In fact, Toole talks about that very thing in our latest podcast episode, linked below.
