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?

Sometimes you need to give a small manufacturer the benefit of the doubt.

As you probably know, there is a supply issue that is affecting world-wide distribution. That is probably what is causing the delay.

However, small manufacturers should make their problems known to those who have placed orders for their merchandise, as it is good for customer relations.

If Ohm doesn't respond quickly or openly, I would consider looking elsewhere.

For $6K, you can get far better speakers, especially if you buy used. 

If you like Omni directional speakers, there is Shahinian. Made on Long Island

There is a pair on USAM.
