I just got a pair of Ohm 1000s delivered about 2 weeks ago. I'm very pleased with them. While I'm still experimenting a bit with the final placement, I've already made the decision to keep them. No need for any more of the 120 day trial period.
Are they "audiophile"? I don't know as I don't use that word. It is a meaningless term in my book due to the baggage attached to it. However, I do find the Ohms very natural sounding when playing well recorded, un-processed, un-amplified voices and instruments. One of my favorite features so far is the enormous sweet spot. One can move around the room and maintain a stable image -- just like with live music. It is nice being freed from the small "head in the vice" sweet spot many other speakers have.
