Open Baffle vs Box


Hi All,
Eyeing a Pair of Spatial M3 Sapphire and wondered if anyone transitioned from Box Speakers to OBs and what they thought?
I’m giving up my much loved Vandy 2ce’s and was hoping for input out there. Great 60 day in-home trial but was curious to hear what people think before I pull the trigger?
This has been a great forum to learn from!!

Totally wrong.   The back wave can cancel some response of the front wave (less output) if the baffle is narrow and the frequencies are low.  To get low bass you need a big baffle, large woofs or servo woofs, 

Distort?  No way.  Open baffle speakers generally have a more spacious sound and less box sound.  Done right, they are incredible.  Check out GR Research and Spatial speakers....they are killer.
