Ohm Speakers, thoughts?


I have long dismissed Ohm speakers as anything that could be competitive in todays state of the art. But of course I want to believe that this "old" American company still has some horsepower left to compete with asian built speakers built by people that take in less money in a week than my dog sitter takes in the couple hours it takes to let my dogs out to crap when I am away for a day :)? The reviews I have read here and there report incredible imaging but what about other aspects of the Ohm 5 II. Any thoughts?

I just had a pair of E's that I had traded for. I have to say I thought it was a good value for the money. Bass response was decent, imaging, detail, highs all that good. Wasn't great, but it was and is a $600 speaker. I found them to be impressive for the money. I am about to get a pair of F's that i wll play with for a while before I do something with, just so I know. There is also a pair of A's owned by a local that I have listened to for quite a while and considering the age, I am damned impressed with them, especially the low end response.
Sean , will do on the A's, though I am pretty sure the gentleman will have to die or become ill 1st for me to get them, and I like him too much to have that happen anytime soon. I kinda have a standng offer with him, and I think if he were to sell them, I think it would be to me. He liked the fact I knew what they were the 1st time I walked in the room, etc. Hell, I was impressed myself, was a very good guess on my part. He is a wealth of information, and can walk into hs closet and pull out stuff I have never seen, a Houdini of audio so to speak, like so many of the oldtimers with a love of audio are and were.
Will do on the F's as well, should have them next week, one of my many trades. I am actually a little afraid to see the condition, but if they are working, I can work with them.
