The problem with the vandersteen speakers is that they have drivers that overlap over a wide range. This is not only pointless but can cause a muddy sound. Other speakers have a smaller area which overlaps so you get less interference.

Open Baffle vs Box
An open baffle would cause the back wave to distort the front wave. Thats the whole point of a box to stop that. If you enjoy distortion then thats your choice.  
What are the current "speaker trends" in your opinions?
