Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers

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. 

I was interested in open baffle myself, thinking about the PAP, then I found a set of Emerald Physic 4.8s at less than a third their normal price on Audiogon and bought them. Should get them in a few days, also orders a Rhytmik servo sub to go with them. GR research has an intresting speaker Dannynis working on called Line Force. Seems he’s waiting on one element of the design, one of the drivers that I guess he was happy with the initial ones, before he offers it. New Record Day was describing the sound when they ineterviewed Danny at his place, and once they come out I’d like to try those along with his OB triple bass subs.

I highly recommend checking out Danny Ritchie's (GR-Research) Youtube channel which has a lot of great information about open baffle speakers. 

I am currently using GR Research's NX-Otica speakers and stereo triple OB servo subs. I'm loving these speakers - truly full range, dynamic, and deep, airy sound stage - but I'm also lusting after Danny's Line Force speakers. When he's able to get the Neo10's produced, I'll be in line (excuse the pun) to order a pair.

Thanks for everybody’s input - there are certainly a few options to think about and investigate

You need to know what your goal is. Otherwise you are just going down the rabbit hole.

Agreed - as I said - I had a friend who tried OB designs and he spent a lot of time (down various rabbit holes) pursuing options.

My goal - to find a speaker that offers the most lifelike performance.

However, I’m not into DIY when it comes to speakers and as such I would prefer assembled units.

But I do need to listen to OB models again, to confirm they have something more than what my current speakers offer.

Previous OB models I had listened too lacked bass, but excelled in high/mid range and imaging. Several Models mentioned here sound as though they might fit my requirements from the reviews I have read..

Whilst my listening space is now much larger than before, size is still a significant consideration.

Again - many thanks for all the input - much appreciated - Steve

Might want to watch the almost 1.5 Hour interview with Clayton Shaw/Spatial on youtube that aired just yesterday. Go to the NEW RECORD DAY channel.  Your assumption on lack of Bass couldn't be any further from the truth in his designs...and I prefer a Lack of Bass presentation. He explains the whole process of room interaction with Open Baffle speakers compared to Box speakers. If nothing else you'll learn how these work and if you think they are a good match for your needs.
