Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers

http://www.pureaudioproject.com/

Has anyone out there tried these?

They sound intriguing 

Are there any/many got-ya's like room size, speaker placement in room, amp size/type etc...

A friend tried DIY open baffle a couple of years ago and they were quite large

My problem at the time was the amount of space I had available. I have since moved into a new house with a much larger listening area - 17' x 42' with 8 ft ceiling

Thanks for any input - Cheers

The very low bass is going to be very confused. I would cross over to a sealed sub at 100 Hz.

I seriously doubt that. My X3s go reach down to 25 hz with authority. The bass is very controlled and pitch correct. OB bass is probably about the most natural reproduction of the lower frequencies you are likely to hear, along with horn loaded bass. Both can be exceptional.

Ozzy,
Sorry to jump in here, but what happened to your Carver speakers?

@acresverde  Thanks for the help. I guess there is of course more than one Ozzy, as I would like to be named Ozzy as well. Just not the bat-eating one.

Also check out  Tri-Art Audio.  I have a pair of 5 Open's coming my way soon.  Funky bamboo wood.  Great dealing with this Canadian company.
I have read many comparisons with Spatial and Pure Audio Project.
Many like the Tri-Art speakers better.  Check out a review from Dagogo. the reviewer compares the PAP speaker and Tri-Art.  Tri-Art is less expensive also.
