I was fooling around with some speakers a few weeks ago and I asked myself what really contributes to the sense of "openness".
It was about then that I realized it was the tweeter. The only caveat is it needs to crossover on the low side. Around 1000-2000 kHz or so.
If you start going below that it is the woofer that needs to be very "natural" sounding.
