open baffle vs sealed box designs

in a previous post, i asked for advice concerning stand mounted speakers.

it has occurred to me that an open baffle design may exhibit less box coloration than a sealed box.

i am not aware of any open baffle monitor speakers, other than the et lft 16 and possibly a nola design.

are there any others under $2000 which are a bit soft in the treble ?

OB need a separate low freq channel -- and it's usually a closed box. OR you need sophisticated equalisation (as in Linkwitz's Orion).

BTW, I love the OB sound.
So, I really don't think you'll be UNhappy with either the fostex (above-never heard them) or the Bastanis (heard these).
If you're good at electronics you might have a go at the Orions (here). This speaker is world class (IMO, etc).
