How to review a near omnidirectional speaker?
Let me talk about the hall perspective first as that is probably the best baseline to get a "feel" for the sound field produced.
Ohms are more middle hall to back row speakers then most everything being sold today. This is a very easy speaker to listen to long term as there is no fatigue factor. Yet with plenty of detail available this was a bit of a surprise to me in fact. I started with the front end. Building a system with as much detail and clarity I could afford. So, perhaps what I'm hearing is a complete pass through of everything I could squeeze out of the digital front end. Because this is a mostly omni speaker, there is a "character" to the presentation in my system that my wife and I enjoy. Those looking for a more "in your face" or front row sound should look elsewhere. Action movies have plenty of clarity and detail and bass.
Product Weakness: The big thing here is the very different "presentation" than most speakers being sold today. If you've never heard an Omnidirectional speaker you'll love it or find it's not what you want. Product Strengths: Major league bass for size of enclosure. No locked in "sweet spot" so you can sit wherever or move around while the music plays. A small form factor and good WAF with multiple veneers to choose from. Solid wood construction with veneer cover. Excellent value for price.
