Curious about the details?  What kind of baffle?
Compared against which other brands?
How do they compare against 1 " high bass speakers? Many seem to be going for the high bass from the different DCC forums I belong to.

good point.  i am comparing it to others of the same thickness (mrc, radio shack, digitrax and the like).  these are flat as they get.  putting these into the bachmann ft-a and b and there is under 1/2 inch of height without demolishing the chassis . . . the high bass is great, but too big.  regarding the baffle . . . . the short poland spring bottle caps, with the speaker upside down (cone in).
