Whenever I go to the theater, I come out thinking that I love my set up, but the speakers at the theater sure sound different. Not better, just different. They do not have crisp highs like my Paradigm, low bass like my SVS, not as detailed... yet, I still like how they sound. It is hard to describe (geez, who has been to a theater before? ), perhaps it has to do with the "near field" thing.
Anyway, after listening to music with some Mirage the other day, I started to wonder if the difuse sound those bipolar speakers put out is not better for HT application. With the Mirage, instruments were not as clearly seperated, but instead it seemed I had a wall of sound in front of me and the soundstage was HUGE (I think it was the OMC7, $2000 or so). While that may not be desirable for music (I liked it tho), it is probably great with HT.
I guess I would like to know what you guys think of Bipolar speakers compared to regular ones.
