| Best realistic omni type speaker option? Yeah, the little Pear Audio amp sounds surprisingly good but there is not as much bass as I know the Obelisks can make. I'm thinking about using a tube pre to drive a pair of SS monoblocks via balanced XLR. Radu Tarta has offered to convert the ... | |
| Best realistic omni type speaker option? I have commented about this topic on other threads before. All the omnidirectional speakers you listed have their advantages and weaknesses, like any other speaker. One you should add to your list is Larsen, made in Sweden. They are a modern ve... | |
