I love my Livingroom box speaker it is one of the best ever made, but I recently heard an open baffle speaker, and I am thinking this is the future of speakers. I am now in the queue to get one once it is released very soon. Going to keep both speakers (at least that is the plan).

It was the best bass I ever heard. Sure, sounded different. There was a bass musician in the room with me when I heard the speakers and when I commented on the bass, he told me that is how bass is supposed to sound.

@yyzsantabarbara There’s a possibility that what you may be looking for is the sound of a open baffle subwoofer integrated with your current speaker.

But, if going the OB speaker route for sure, try the Tekton Solitude open baffle maybe. It may be a more unique OB (in light of that mid array) than some others out there...

ID recommend Mike Powell at 11 Stereo (OCD HiFi Guy on YouTube). Everything he has recommended to me regardless of price was of top notch sound and reliability wise. He really listens to what you are try to accomplish. He has some great speakers but I would also check out Von Schweikert Audio for great speaker bang for buck.

OP must've left some significant info out.  Bought his listed speakers in 2023 but only has 20 hrs on them?  Unless you have some other speakers you primarily listen to, with that little listening involvement, why are you looking to spend $$ on anything?

Faradaddy2 I agree ,  eggleston are good speakers. Even the best consultants for speakers can’t help , if you are not patient enough to listen.What happen ? Why are you looking for new speaker? For second system or main system.
