Hello. I have Mirage OM6 speakers and are pleased with the big bipolar/omnipolar soundstage. Now I have the chance to buy OM8 very cheap. I think they use same tweeters and midranges so I can use them a spares. But I got another idea; what about using the top,skipping bass module and using open baffle in bass instead? Would this be totaly wrong combining two different solutions? Bipole top with dipole bass?

You get a transition from bipole to dipole which can be quite hard to make work together.
More often seen as encloosed bass driver (omni) to a dipole mid/top.

Ok,I have heard dipole bass combined with regular monopole speakers. That sounded ok to me. But maybe there was something in the transition,maybe ther was🤔 I think that is very good with OM6, better than most speakers I have heard. But I have 4x 13" bass drivers that sounded good in open baffle. You see; I have a little room and dipole bass is room-friendly,no pressure. Thank you for reply😀👍

You should have no problem incorporating either for bass duty. The sealed would be simpler and they're already part of the speaker. Add the usual mode managing subs as required.
I think the answer comes down to where in the spectrum you cut it. Keep it below where the room dominates....
