The type that you usually see mounted on the wall next to plasma TV's. I think they might be a good choice for my very tiny apartment. Are there any that sound good? Do these type speakers have weak bass? What are the better brands and models? Thanks Hunter |

They are quite expensive, at $1400 and $2000 a pair respectively, and need a sub. But, they sound absolutly STUNNING! You simply can not get better on wall sound for the price. Instruments and music seem to eminate from space, and not the speakers. Closing your eyes, you can't hear where the speakers are located. The music will surround you. Check them out! http://www.martinlogan.com/vignette_speaker.html http://www.martinlogan.com/fresco_speaker.html |

New member Username: Hunter2878Dallas, TX Post Number: 5 Registered: Jun-05 | Wow, Those Martin Logans look cool. I think 1000-1200 for the front 3 would be ok, but 1400-2000 a pair seems like alot for this type speaker. What I think is funny is that they never show any wires going to the TV's or speakers. If I wall mount a tv and 3 speakers on the front wall it's going to look like a spider web. Hunter You got a laugh from me Stu! |
