You probably mean open baffle (OB), not "baffle-less"? For a comprehensive intro to OB try S Linkwitz' site as well as Melhuish's. Generally speaking OB will sound very "airy" (a bit like a stator with dynamics). To make a long story shorter, the low end starts rolling off (@~6db/octave) at a frequency determined by the width of the baffle. You'll need a woofer/subwoofer (that can be OB, too -- preferably) and proper equalisation, preferably before the amp (passive or active).
Your amps can easily drive the upper range (say from 150-200Hz and up) in a multiamp configuration. You'll need a bigger amp for the low end
Quite a few people are using wide-range drivers in OB; for a simple implementation look up the supravox site, & check out discussions over at diyaudio.
Finally, Mr Olsher's "Basszilla" speaker is a Fostex OR Lowther OB design. I strongly recommend you look it up at Blackdahlia.
OB is well worth it!
