Such sad news. John was a mensch and a delight to deal with. I was one of those who found errors (and made editorial suggestions) in the Ohm beta website, and got the discount on new speakers. I had a pair of Ohm Walsh 2s that I wanted to upgrade with new cans. John said, "Well, we meant the discount to go towards a pair of new speakers, but for you I'll discount just the cans." And that is how I got my Ohm Walsh 2000s, which retain pride of place in my main stereo system. I always admired and respected John's relentless and persistent refinement of his rather idiosyncratic vision of audio technology and the listener's experience. I do hope Ohm can keep going in his absence, knowing how extraordinarily difficult that will be. Thanks for the good listening, John.
John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away
Hello everyone ….
I wanted to share with everyone that John Strohbeen passed away …. I just left his memorial service at BWAC (Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition). John’s passion project ( other then Ohm).
My condolences to his friends and family and to all the audiophiles in the world … I think the attached video says it all …..
To the Ohm community he gave us all the gift of what he would say “seeing the music …”
Missing my friend everyday ..
