Ohm Walsh speakers, for music, but also watching anything like lectures, random videos, and movies. This company has been making the same omnidirectional / omnipolar speaker since 1971! Refining the same design! It's a little frustrating because they have a great product, but not much advertising. It takes about 3 months to get them, since they are made to order. And it's mail order only, with a home trial of 90 days I believe. But they are cheap as far as floor standing speakers -- $1000 each, which is less than you pay at Best Buy for similar products. It seems like this is for audiophiles, but everyone who's visited my apartment has been able to tell the difference. Their eyes light up: "wow". You hear more things in songs you've listened to for years; they can be turned up loud without hurting your ears; vocal quality/timbre is unmatched IMO. (downside: they do reveal that some recordings are much better than others) Anecdotally it feels like less effort to watch a long lecture on these speakers because the human voice is so clear; all frequencies are reproduced. IME listening to lectures on small tinny speakers produces a mild strain because your brain has to fill in the gaps of "missing words" (which it's very good at, but takes effort). https://ohmspeaker.com/ https://ohmspeaker.com/ I heard about them through Don Lindich, who previously recommended Mirage Speakers (now owned by Klipsch I believe): http://soundadvicenews.com/2015/12/20/week-11-2015-the-incredible-ohm-walsh-speakers/ http://soundadvicenews.com/2015/12/20/week-11-2015-the-incre...

If you have the room in your house, are patient, and have $2K, these are a no-brainer! It's a tremendous value. I use them every day, and put in an order for a second pair recently.
