Easy one. Go with the Klipsch. They are a much better loudspeaker from a very well established company.

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?

@veemike , I GREATLY prefer the Cornwalls. Why you ask? They have controlled dispersion which is virtually mandatory for a large space otherwise the room will cause problems that can not be easily corrected. With Cornwalls all you have to do is put some absorbing tiles on the side walls. You place the Cornwalls right up against (as close as you can without touching) the front wall. This eliminates early reflections in the bass along with the side wall damping. The Cornwalls are very efficient and very low distortion. They will still benefit from subwoofers, two will do. If you do not have the Extended version of Live at Leeds, YOU HAVE TO GET IT!!! |
