I have Ohm 1000s in my living room and Golden Ear BRXs in my bedroom. They are quite different in the way they interact with the rooms (quasi-omni versus front-firing box) but both sound excellent, though my preference is for the Ohms.
Suggestions: Interesting small speakers with flexible placement
Hey guys. Long time member. Proud owner of some Ohm Walsh 2s with Parasound electronics.
i just moved into a new apartment and am looking for speakers for my bedroom. It’s relatively small at 500 square feet. I have some weird considerations that have led me to eliminate a lot of typical choices. Looking for any ideas on speakers that could work!
requirements:
* listening position is the bed, but I’d like wide sweet spot so that I can enjoy them as I dress, which would place me well outside of the typical listening triangle.
* they are going to have to be fairly close to the wall. Probably no more than 6” from the wall to the back of the speaker
* unless they are omnis or something, they will likely have to be in an actual bookcase or on a dresser
* they should look interesting and sculptural
* price range under $3k retail for a pair
will accept any suggestions. I love floor standers but doubt this room can accommodate any. Omni directional or other unusual designs encouraged.
