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!!

"...analysis paralysis...."  *L*  Considering your stated options, not a big surprise there. ;)  Speakers (especially) can be like a 'step down' from a spouse/SO....you're going to have to like with them for an extended period of time, and you'd prefer for it to be 'pleasant'...at least. *G*

Summer is the typ time for vacations, large or small.  You might consider a road trip or 2....what my SO & I like to call 'overnight speed tours'. Enjoy what the locale has to offer, as well as a demo date.  Cue up for a pair of Ohms in the meanwhile, and make them the 'last stop' that you don't have to go to...

Unfortunately, speakers aren't like socks.  But, on the other hand, if you knew Exactly what you wanted, you'd be there already. ;)

There's already too many 'tales of woe' over selections made in haste.

Have a pleasant weekend anyway....;)
@twoch  Which one is which?

3 total different things
  one sticks out from back wall and likes Jazz more so then rock. two , a speaker that works for rock and jazz but needs to be away from back wall 3 feet. Three , one can be placed up against a wall

I suggest you have a really long hemorrhoid inducing BM.  Don't make a decision out of impatience. 

Here's a question.  Can you get rid of that big black thing??  (the chair, not the nice dog)
Yes, keep the dog. *S*  They generally have better taste then their 'umans.  If they sleep through a session, that's good.
If they 'lift leg' (Sunny, our f/m, can do both...a real 'switch hitter'), then lose the speakers...*L*

Her 'aim' is remarkably accurate, BTW....;)
