I have listened to Spatial at LInear Tube Audio, and PAP at shows.
Both share many similar characteristics. As mentioned, min distance from wall behind baffle. Clear defined bass and great sound staging.
Generally speaking, the room needs much less treatment than with most boxes. Both designs are highly efficient. SET amps may apply also. PAP xo’s allow future customization via a screwdriver. Caps, resisters, etc, can be changed in minutes to match your hatch.
PAP has just come out with a product in your price range. Enjoy.
