open baffle vs sealed box designs

in a previous post, i asked for advice concerning stand mounted speakers.

it has occurred to me that an open baffle design may exhibit less box coloration than a sealed box.

i am not aware of any open baffle monitor speakers, other than the et lft 16 and possibly a nola design.

are there any others under $2000 which are a bit soft in the treble ?

The woofer in the DQ 10s is not in an open baffle. Nice speaker, I owned it for years. You can do better, though.

Hey JohnK ..How about hook a brother up with some OBs?
I already have the drivers. I would like to be able to swap them over when feeling like a change. How much for just the Baffles? I could get them made locally but your wood work is awesome! You can just email me privately if you like.

Thanks
