Vanns.com has the Mirage OMNI 550 CH Floorstanding Speaker - Black/Cherry Wood for $149.88 with free shipping.

Product description from Vanns.com:

The next generation

Way back in 2002, Mirage introduced the first generation of OMNI Series speakers. This was the first traditional box speaker series that featured Omnipolar technology. The OMNI Series set the standard in manufacturing quality, reliability, and affordability. Now, Mirage is introducing a second generation that boasts the same hallmarks as the first. The OMNI 550, the flagship floorstanding speaker in the series, offers the perfect combination of cabinet size, advanced speaker technology and affordability&#32&#151&#32guaranteeing
that this speaker will impress at the highest level.

How Omnipolar speakers work

Mirage’s superior loudspeaker technology can be voiced in a single word&#32&#151&#32Omnipolar. Research shows that in live musical environments, about 30% of what we hear is direct sound while 70% is reflected sound from walls, ceilings, and floors that reaches our ears a few milliseconds after the direct sound. The brain uses direct sound for identification and to establish location, but uses the reflected sound to determine musicality and spaciousness, as well as direction. Conventional direct-radiating speakers with front-mounted drivers produce the opposite ratio of direct to reflected sound, or 70% direct to 30% reflected.

Attempting to more closely reproduce the ratio found in live sound experiences, engineers developed speakers with both front- and rear-mounted drivers. In this dipolar speaker design, front and rear drivers radiate sound out of phase, with the front
driver pushing air outward while the rear driver pulls air !
inward,
always moving air in the same direction and canceling much of the speaker’s energy and drastically reducing its off-axis (off-center) dispersion, delivering a convincing live-music experience. Despite its wider dispersion pattern and a larger soundstage, the dipolar speaker design dictates a significantly larger enclosure than conventional direct-radiating speakers.

And now for the OmniGuide breakthrough. After nearly two years of research, Mirage audio engineer Andrew Welker conceived the patented saucer-shaped OmniGuide deflector that, when suspended over an angled, but front-mounted, woofer and tweeter, produces the same dispersion pattern that up until now could only be achieved by front- and rear-mounted drivers, and in a much more subtle enclosure size.

What makes it “flagship”

The OMNI 550 features two 6.5″ multi-layered fiberglass composite drivers and a 1″ aluminum dome tweeter mounted in a cleverly designed rear ported curved speaker cabinet.
One of the 6.5″ drivers is used as a woofer that reproduces bass frequencies up to a crossover point of 700Hz. The other 6.5″ driver is mounted in a precisely aligned angle on top of the cabinet. It acts as a midbass driver, reproducing all bass and midrange frequencies to the tweeter crossover point of 2.2 kHz. The 6.5″ midbass driver and the 1″ aluminum dome tweeter are mounted in Mirage’s exclusive OMNIGUIDE array. OMNIGUIDE allows the speaker to distribute sound in a spherical 360&#176 pattern, the same way sound is created in nature, so your music will sound realistic and life-like. The other key benefit of OMNIPOLAR speakers is that the uniform dispersion pattern fills out the entire listening room, not just a single seat in the sweet spot. So invite your friends and family and share the experience. Home theater is not just about watching a movie; with OMNIPOLAR technology, you will experience it.

A sight for sore ears

So many speakers on the market tod
ay are housed in bulky, unattractive boxes. It’s hard to put!
togethe
r a home theater system that looks as good as it sounds. But the OMNI 550 lets you do exactly that. The flawlessly finished curved cabinet of the OMNI 550 elegantly floats over a high gloss black base, which further increases the overall visual appeal of this unique loudspeaker.

Vanns.com has the Klipsch QUINTET SL 5-Channel Home Theater Speaker - Black for $399.88 with free shipping.

Product description from Vanns.com:

Small but mighty

Klipsch recognized that while everyone wants realistic, powerful sound in their home, not everyone wants furniture-sized speakers taking up valuable space. So they created the Quintet series of sleek and slender home theater speakers. The Quintet SL system with three left-center-right (LCR) and two satellite speakers has the oomph to rock your living room inside a package that fits in small spaces. A perfect complement to your flat panel HDTV, Klipsch’s high-output woofers and proprietary horn-loaded technology deliver lifelike perfor
mances. In fact, the Quintet SL system uses the same cutting-edge technology as Klipsch’s professional cinema products, guaranteeing power, detail, and emotion in your film or music.

Built to be obvious to the ear, not the eye

Each magnetically-shielded LCR speaker employs dual 3.5″ high-output woofers and 0.75″ aluminum dome tweeter mated to an exclusive Tractrix Horn, a design that delivers genuine lifelike sounds as well as produces more output using less energy. The two surround satellite use a 3.5″ long-throw woofer for remarkable detail and clarity and a 0.75″ aluminum dome tweeter coupled to a MicroTractrix Horn for precise high frequencies. The best part about the Quintet SL speakers, though is their placement versatility. Plant discreetly on a bookshelf, or mount them directly to the wall. The LCR’s offer easy keyhole wall mounting and include a pedestal foot for free-standing use as a left/right main speaker or center channel. The satellites feature
a swiveling pedestal foot for convenient wall mounting or b!
ookshelf
placement.

Tractrix what?

The hallmark of Klipsch speakers is their bright, realistic sound, and that can be credited to the patented Tractrix Horn. The Tractrix Horn’s carefully calculated flare dramatically increases driver efficiency, allowing production of very high sound levels with minimal amplifier power and no strain or distortion. It also controls the sound’s directivity (80° horizontal x 80° vertical dispersionon the Quintet SL’s LCR speakers), ensuring excellent coverage of the listening area while minimizing detail-obscuring reflections off of walls, floor, and ceiling. Fed by a smooth, accurate titanium-dome tweeter, the Tractrix Horn is the key to the vibrantly realistic, emotionally compelling Klipsch Sound Experience. The new 90° by 40° MicroTractrix Horn used in this Quintet SL speaker package incorporates the advances of Klipsch’s Tractrix Horn technology in it’s most compact application ever. Integrated into the front baffle
to minimize diffraction, the horn delivers high output, low distortion, broad dynamics and, most importantly, true Klipsch sonic character.
