Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ??

I've heard the mag 1.7s and like the "openness" and other attributes.  However, the size and placement requirements are a killer for me.   I'm thinking Ohm and Spatial would be somewhat similar.  However, I can't demo them.  Any thoughts on these compared to the mags and any other "open" speakers I should consider?

Thanks all as usual!!

Ohms are very special speakers, IF you can give them the breathing space they need. If not, I’d go with a good electrostatic or panel speaker

Dog #2 is a brindle! *VBS*  Ours is a Plott/Pitt mix, smart and loves everyone.  Loves anything edible more...;)

Happy to see the Ohms are still in contention....

My original Ohm Walsh 2s don't need any breathing space but I give it to them. Panels? They need a lot of room away from walls. Just my experience.

The placement of a speaker is critical to its sound. The idea is not to equalize or change the characteristics of the speaker by placing it in different positions,but to get the speaker to interact as little as possible with the room.
The Larsens speakers where designed in a real house in a real room.
You should take advantage of their risk free trial period.
