The Ohms are far from being hip looking, but thankfully they sound a lot better than they look. I agree that the older Ohms look better, if I ever need speakers for a larger space, I'd look for an old used pair, and have the guys over at Ohm install the latest drivers.
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?
