In my price range I have my dream speakers, the Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S . After hearing these , there is no way I could want another speaker with a box cabinet - Open Baffle properly done is so natural and realistic it puts all box speakers in a lower class , IMO . I have owned Klipschorns and later Klipsch RF-5's with upgraded tweeter capacitors and single strand OCC copper internal wiring. They were a little less great than my current speakers . Room placement is also far less critical with OB .
Having said that,and if I had a larger room and budget to suit , I'd love to hear a pair of Pure Audio Project's Trio 15 Horn 1 open baffle speakers for $ 8000 / pr delivered in the U.S. With their 8 ohm impedance and 94-96 dB sensitivity they should play fine with any amp 8 watts or more, and probably even usable with a 2A3 SET amp at more modest spl's .
Spatial Audio has a generous audition and return policy and other , larger speakers . Both brands are sold factory-direct and both owners are a joy to communicate with . Nice gentlemen. You would find it difficult to part with their speakers, once heard at home , IMO .
I'm driving my M3's with Gilmore Audio Raptor class D amps and my sound is better than I thought I could have .Also try Analysis Plus cables - real science and engineering there .
My opinions , and my only affiliation with the mentioned brands is as a customer either real or potential .
