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!!

Just talked to John at Ohm.  He really thinks I need to consider the Walsh 1000 and that the 2000s would be too much.  I'll take his word for it.  Think I'm going to order them tomorrow .....and possibly a few others....

JS is the expert but in lieu of his calculator I was thinking no larger than 1000s in there.


Another cool thing about Ohm Walsh is that room size determines how big and how much. They all sound similar set up well.

I have a set of Ohm 1000s and love 'em. No problem with bass or volume in my setting.

John is great and knows his speakers.  I tend to think he sizes "one" down.  BUT I like bass a bit (not crazy, but I do like it).

Also, if you are in a basement, or on a concrete floor that can really change the bass response.  I have speakers that if they are on my second or third floor - almost boomy.  In my finished basement... tight, punchy bass.  

Not sure I would be afraid of the 2000's...
