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!!

Can't imagine not liking the Spatial sound.  

WAF between Spatial and Ohm, especially once you get them located properly, is a lot different so that will be interesting.   The Walsh speakers in particular with the newer cabs tend to not draw attention to themselves which some will like and others not as much.
(((@audiosaurusrex Are those rollers on the bottom of the speakers so you can move them out of the way?? THAT IS AWESOME.)))  Placing speakers on rollers or rubber sponges will only blur the sound.It's like taking a picture while driving on a bumpy road or a moving target. try to pound out a horseshoe on an anvil it works try it in the mud and it doesn't.
 Perhaps your speakers are too bright and blurring them is to your preference but it is a band aid as mentioned above you may also want to  check out the latest Vandersteen 2 Sig 3   Best JohnnyR

Wife wants the Magnepans!  
Does she like them almost half of the way into the room where they sound best or close to the wall where out of the way?
Martin Logan makes several large panel electrostatics which provide really excellent  sound.  Some Best Buys have them on display.
