Hi all,
Here is a website with many DIY speaker designs with different radiation patterns. Lots of exciting projects..
For example, here is a video which gives an idea about the dipole or 'figure-8' type radiation pattern often referred to in open baffle speakers:
In the video, notice how the loudness of the music quietens when we are at the sides and increases in loudness nicely when we are at the front and the back.
That is dipole radiation pattern in action
How does it help?
One of the advantages is as follows: Due to the less intensity of sound hitting walls on the sides, there will be less 'colorations' imparted to the overall tonal balance by the side walls.
Whether one will like it or not eventually in a room depends on individual preference..
There are a lot of more other exciting stuff there on the site. Have a look.
Thanks
