Non-Audiophile Audiophile question!


I need to know which speakers are the best to use when you position them behind you. In other words I'm not setting up any home-theater, but simply trying to figure out what kind of speakers are the best to go for such quest of setting up 2-ch stereo with rear speakers. It is my home-office situation which is awkwardly spaced and there are LOTS of monitors around me so I'm guessing I should look for near-field speakers. No issues with active speakers as well. 

Please recommend!

You might consider some surface mount speakers, I use Vandersteen VSM-1s mounted on the ceiling for my rear channel in my video system.

I certainly do not have first hand experience but as with a couple of your early answers, my first thought was Ohm.

Another speaker line you may wish to consider is Shahinian Acoustics, Ltd. Looking over the line, it seems the Obelisk may be their entry level to a true omnidirectional perspective but they claim the next step down Arc model also offers an indirect presentation.
