Woaaah, hate them love them .. but you'll agree with me, they are something special. What looks like tall vases that flank the TV are actually Altec Lansing OMNI speakers which boasts heavy construction to ensure lesser vibrations and superior sound quality. Each of these speakers will hold a woofer, a mid-range speaker and a tweeter located on the top. They'll co-exist peacefully with one another since they're shielded via a ceramic plate, while the cone that sits atop each speaker will help distribute any sound that comes out from it in an equal manner.
