Kevin, in case you haven't seen it (or don't know about DR), Danny Richie's latest GR Research Tech Talk Tuesday YouTube video is the first in his new series dedicated to open baffle loudspeakers. In this episode he mentions Clayton Shaw and his Spatial Audio speakers, including them in his list of speaker makers who produce good sound at hi-fi shows (Danny used to regularly display at RMAF).

As he says in this video, future episodes will have Danny going into deep detail on the design of OB's, both full range and subs. Oughta be great!

Hey Kevin, I just got in something you may be interested in trying with your new Spatials: Vicoustic Multifuser DC2 diffusers. They are 2D style ("skyline"), diffusing in both horizontal and vertical planes. I don't know if you are bothered by reflections off the sliding glass doors behind the speakers, but if you are, the DC2's should be of help. They come in a 6-pack, each panel 23.25" square by 6" deep. Available in white, grey, and black, they are made of very stiff, dense, hard EPS. U.S. dealers sell the 6-pack for $699, but you can get them from Thomann Music in Germany for almost $300 less, shipped. I love 'em!

Another product of possible interest: If you do a deep search on the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Subwoofer, you will eventually find a couple of Spatial owners who have been very happy with the bass augmentation the OB Sub affords their speakers. I'll try and find the location I saw their posts on---Eric.
