Ohm Walsh speakers, for music, but also watching anything like lectures, random videos, and movies.<p>This company has been making the same omnidirectional / omnipolar speaker since 1971! Refining the same design!<p>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.<p>But they are cheap as far as floor standing speakers -- $1000 each, which is less than you pay at Best Buy for similar products.<p>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)<p>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).<p><a href="https://ohmspeaker.com/" rel="nofollow">https://ohmspeaker.com/</a><p>I heard about them through Don Lindich, who previously recommended Mirage Speakers (now owned by Klipsch I believe):<p><a href="http://soundadvicenews.com/2015/12/20/week-11-2015-the-incredible-ohm-walsh-speakers/" rel="nofollow">http://soundadvicenews.com/2015/12/20/week-11-2015-the-incre...</a><p>Review reprinted on their website: <a href="https://ohmspeaker.com/reviews/walsh-3000-don-lindichs-sound-advice-blog/" rel="nofollow">https://ohmspeaker.com/reviews/walsh-3000-don-lindichs-sound...</a><p>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.
