Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY

Greetings All

This is, unfortunately,  an uneasy post.  I was persuaded to dive into a buying a set of Ohm Acoustics Walsh Tall 3000.  My very funky factory loft with 11' ceilings, not a single straight wall, 145 yr. old very wide & distressed oak flooring other issues dictated an Ohm Acoustics design.  However, placed/paid for my speakers 11/06/2021.  Speaking with Ohm indicates I can expect delivery around the middle of June.  That date has krept forever onward.  Yes, there was a snafu at Ohm's end that they readily recognize. But poor, poor, customer relations. I have spoken with Jake several times over the last 7 months; quite the gentleman.  However, I just no longer have a good feeling that Ohm Acoustics is on top of their game. And the last thing I want to do is spend about $6,000 for a product where the company is gone, out of business.

 Crutchfield can ship me a set of Klipsch Cornwall IV this afternoon. My decision process 7+ months ago had me considering either the Cornwalls or the Walsh Talls. I went with the Walsh Talls. Hey, it still may be sonically the better decision. But until I get delivery of my Ohms I'll never know. 

Thoughts?

All part of the uniqueness that is OHM Acoustics.  

John and Evan are quite possibly the most type "B" business owners and managers that I've encountered.  They can be a bit slow, very laid back and they don't always sweat the details.  

Flip side, they are always very accommodating and if something is not to your satisfaction they will always take it back for a refund (within reason), or fix it to your liking.  

 

The speakers, they also make no sense.  They are not the tightest of builds inside or out, looking at the parts and internal guts make a lot of audiophiles question them, and even pass on them.

Yet, when you listen to them they are very cool, and do so many things right.  Very fun speakers and very enjoyable to listen to.  They also support their products as well or better than anyone out there.

Just a unique company and product.

I would just get some canare 4s11 speaker cable and call it good.  If you want it to look fancy, find a seller that puts a slick jacket on it.

Whatever you like best will do the job.  The 4s11 uses the star quad winding, which can help with EF.

That said, those Monster M1's are doing the job just as well.  

Unless you need longer cables, keep the Monsters and spend the money on a nice quality beer, bottle of your favorite beverage, or edible of choice and any of those will give you a nice night or two of relaxation while you enjoy your music.

I suspect if you have clean Monster M1 cables, you can easily sell them and cover the cost of the Canare cable, and maybe have a few bucks leftover for a beer.
