Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Omni and Poly

A dome is considered to be one of the more difficult acoustic spaces in which one might attempt to set up a stereo. "Crystalline Clarity" is something you may never achieve there - unless you invest in a good set of electrostatic headphones.

I might try out a pair of Magnepan MMGs (w/ couple of good subwoofers, perhaps) within the *in home trial/refund/upgrade* period in order to assess dipole performance in your unusual living space. Upgrade to a bigger model if all seems well.

Also, I'd check out the omnis and the polys: Direct Acoustics, Ohm Acoustics, Decware, Shahinian, etc.., because some of them do work well in large, unusual, and open spaces.
