The attenuation switch seems like it would be a good selling point for ohm and should be described on their website and included in their manuals.

I have a question about the Ohm sound as relates to the wide dispersion. A year ago, I purchased a pair of almost 180 wide dispersion bookshelf speakers made by a well respected small manufacturer. For about half of the music I listen to they were incredible...almost lifelike. But for the other half, the imaging was so diffuse that it almost seemed like I was listening in a large cathedral with a lot of echo and reverb. At first I wondered if they were out of phase....Nope....so I tried many different toe in toe out and tilt up tilt down and repositioning closer and further from each other and from the walls...and I could never get rid of the hall effect. My question for the people who own the current Ohms...has anyone noticed something similar with them and if so, might it be the wide/omni dispersion? |
absolutely...and the very wide dispersion speakers are the only speakers that have resulted in this "phenomenon". Currently I have the LRS+ paired with a 15" sealed sub. Great combination but as you know, the listening position is on two people wide and seated...but in the listening position they sound really, really good. You can tell people love their Ohms as they almost never come up for resale.

To be honest, I really don't want to name the brand because they have a strong following and lots of people that love their speakers...and just because they weren't my cup of tea...so what....they don't deserve me saying anything negative. @livinon2wheels does that mean that the newer ohm speakers do have the adjustment...but you have to open them up to get to it?
