I am on the open baffle bandwagon. As mentioned by Ozzy68 they are very open. They have good texture and tone as well. I was lucky enough to land a used pair of Spatial Audio M-1 Triode masters and I am happy with them. If you are open to buying used, you may get more bang for your buck. Also, if you don't mind kits and want to get more bang for your buck you may try GR Research NX Oticas :

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!!
