Title: Home Theater Bookshelf Speakers?
Post by Bottlehead on 03/09/25 at 01:40:04

Hi all, I’m looking for recommendations for home theater speakers for my office. They can be quite large. I’m using Omega Outlaw Open Back monitors now, and while they are very good at music, they don’t quite do it for me when it comes to dialogue in videos or streaming movies. (Most of the videos/movies are not 5.1 capable, so no center channel help). Anyway, I read a review of one of the Klipsch bookshelf speakers that praised their home theater sound, but they seemed like they were on the lower end of the scale. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Randy

Hi Randy….for home theater..I don’t necessarily love the Klipsch sound. I do like their higher end Stereo speakers though. I went with the Martin Logan architectural speakers, and couldn’t be happier. Their Folded Motion tweeter Series are really nice. Right now they are running a 10% off sale until April.

I would contact them and talk to a tech. They were very informative and helpful. Here’s a link to their bookshelves.

Oh yeah, Martin Logan. Forgot about them. Thanks for reminding me, Dom!

How about NHT?
Many moons ago I had a pair that worked very well.

Hey Donnie, thanks for the suggestion. I can’t seem to get past the home page on their website, but I found the info elsewhere. Looks like they shut down at one point, but are now up and running again. I kind of like the air motion tweeter sound. I see that Emotiva is another brand with that tweeter, but after looking at their website, I think that I’d probably be happier with the MLs. Hope I’m not being drawn in by a slicker presentation.
