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!!

I’ve owned spatial and Ohm.  The spatial are good and fun, but I think the ohms offer a lot more for the money.  Ohms are a great bang for buck speaker.

Get a pair of used Ohm's.  Save the cash, and Ohm's support is damn good.

That is, if you can find a pair to your liking.

I wouldn't mess around with the Maggies if you listen to any rock.  They do what they do quite well.   But that is just me.

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...
