The bass will just wrap round and cancel.

Actually the cancellation doesn't happen until the front and rear wave fronts can sum and hence cancel which happens a little further away from the driver, there is no cancellation right by the driver, its called proximity effect and is how open backed headphones all work so as long Ash has got them close enough (less than half the diameter of the driver) to his ears all is good. 

Let's not put him off, everyone want to see a photo of Ash wearing his drivers :)

And they'll inprove as I run them in? Wow.

Nice to see another pair of these out there. Well done.

Thanks Stefan, I'm really pleased with sounds I'm hearing. I've no idea how I'm getting so much bottom end and all the highs of a tweeter just no tweeter.

Really open sound, the bass notes don't seem to hang around like a reflex speaker either. Makes quite room friendly, just put them in the corners and they sound great.

Proac's will be up for sale.

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
