Anyone using baffless speaker with a full range?

I am intrigued with some esoteric drivers, especially the PHY...paired with baffless design. What should I expect sound wise? I have a pair of Fostex Sigmas, nowhere near as interesting as these French drivers. What is the signature of a baffless design? Is there enough low end or does it need to be supplement somehow? Some of the amps that I might use these speakers with are the following:

9 Watt 300B amplifier
10 Watt SS battery/tube powered power supply
20 watt SS integrated (Opamp.)

Any experience would be appreciated!

Nelson Pass has a side web site called FirstWatt.com where he discusses his, design philosophies, DIY projects, experimental circuits, and speaker design. He wrote about an open baffle with a slot loaded base design you may find interesting. Here is the article which is a fascinating read: http://www.firstwatt.com/pdf/art_slob.pdf

Good luck on your project!
