Best speakers for off-axis listening


What are the best speakers for off-axis listening? Speakers can disappear and present a holographic soundstage when sitting in the "sweet spot." But what about when walking around the room or sitting in front of one of the two speakers?

Bose 901 (yes really!) There may be other things you dislike about them, but, when placed in front of the proper kind of wall (rough brick) they do create a huge sound stage.

My speakers are Maggies, and I have three in the front, but one thing I like about them (and previous planars) is the fact that they disperse the sound throughout the room. I can walk from the back of the room right up to a speaker and there is hardly any apparent change in loudness. Measurments with a SPL meter do show that there is actually a reduction with distance, but much less than with my point-source box speakers.
