I'm glad you said this. (I'm thinking of possibly changing my speakers to some smaller, less costly units, because I like the idea of speakers "without the coffin".) I heard the ones below at a show a couple of years ago and I thought they sounded great.

My RF and LF speakers are of the coffin persuasion. And of course I've heard Vandersteen coffins at various shows over the years. I don't have anything against coffin-type speakers, but the Spatial open baffle types I heard (again, at a show) just seemed to free up the speakers from their exact location in space, if that makes any sense. Other speaker types (such as the various electrostatics or the MBL Radialstrahler types - all of which I've heard and liked) would of course be another possibility for me in this respect, but, no matter what speaker you choose, I think you're always trading one set of competencies for another.
I have a small room, so I use guinea pig-sized coffin speakers. :)
they tend to be weak/thin in the two octaves below middle C--trombones, horns, etc.
The 6" speaker varieties I've heard, even with subs, don't have enough mid-bass muscle. Not good for a snarling Bruckner brass chorale.
androgenous, but perhaps that's mere bigotry.
