Sorry to hear the sound wasn't up to snuff. I can't seem to find the words to describe those speakers. I'm trying to picture if I could stand to look at those day after day as my everyday speakers. Maybe they look better in person.

I've never heard any omni-directional speakers. 2x6, have you had a chance to hear any to compare them to? I'm guessing the sound would be very dispersed but enveloping. It seems they would rely heavily on room acoustics.
