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!!

@asvjerry three dogs. Two Danes and one Mastiff. They absorb a lot of sound... and food.

Talked to Richard Vandersteen last night. He was not helpful - told me to get the Treo CT. LOL.

My wife couldn’t get to Anticables this week to see the Spatials so going to try again in 2 weeks.

Ordered the Ohm 1000s.  Three month turnaround according to John.  He's sending color samples.  
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
 You won't be any better off with a panel speaker. They need as much or more breathing room than most others.

Do you find the subs are necessary with the Ohms? Or just a preference?  Wondering if I should be looking at subs.
Ohm Walsh actually need less distance to walls than many others.  They are specifically designed for that by default. 

They will do a wall to wall sound stage normally so giving them room to breathe does have benefit in that sense.
