Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ??


I've heard the mag 1.7s and like the "openness" and other attributes.  However, the size and placement requirements are a killer for me.   I'm thinking Ohm and Spatial would be somewhat similar.  However, I can't demo them.  Any thoughts on these compared to the mags and any other "open" speakers I should consider?

Thanks all as usual!!

I'd just like to thank everyone on this thread for their informative contributions. Ohmm Walsh were unknown to me before this.

I have a love of dipoles and recently made inquiries about buying Spatial speakers in the UK, regrettably there's no distribution here as of last time i checked.
Previously I've owned Alon OB speakers, and still have a modded pair of Alon IV's as backups to my Focals. My only reservation about my Stellas is their comparitive uni-directionality,  but they do have far better power handling and therefore room-filling presence than any OB speaker I've owned or heard so far. But i am certain my next speakers will be dipoles or omni directional. 
Currently I'm very intruiged by the new Bayz Audio Counterpoint and Courante
