Here is the Ohm Guru’s opinion. https://ohmspeaker.com/news/top-10-greatest-speakers/ Mbl makes the list. |
I would definitely say any product must have a proper shootout against mbl before it can lay any rightful claim to being the best regardless of cost. The best demo I have ever heard (largely as a result of soundstage and imaging beyond anything I’ve ever heard otherwise), was mbl by a large margin....not even close....but that involved a very extensive and custom showroom setup that most would be challenged to ever reproduce at home. I know the same dealer never came close at audio shows I attended with the exact same gear. That was one demo at a dealer. How would they hold up for daily listening use at home? One would expect well BUT.....that showroom was a BIG part of the results which were off the chart...... |
I always look for highly recommended gear at shows and dealers. Always looking to reaffirm my personal benchmark for good sound. Then comes the question is it worth it (to me)? Also is it practical for me? Or am I fitting a square peg in a round hole at home? Always looking. Always listening. Can’t wait until things can get more back to normal for that. |
Ohm is often affectionately referred to as the poor mans mbl or German Physics. I’ve heard all three. They are all cut from a similar and very unique Omni cloth. Ohm goes the extra mile to make that not just affordable for more but also more practical to place in more people’s rooms for good results. also ohm is completely home grown in Brooklyn NY so there is that. |
