HI @bondmanp
I agree with you , that you want to show your product in its best possible light! And I also understand where John is coming from .... Like when he showed the Ohm 2000 two years ago at the NYC audio show ... He used an Outlaw RR 2160 .... and was using " lamp cord" .... and old oppo dvd for a cd player and a Node 2 ...
People in the audience asked " Hey is that lamp cord ? , he said yes ... " The person then asked him ... " if we used better cords and interconnects, amps and sources ... what would happen? John just said " It would sound better."
John was showing sub 3k speakers and thought it would be odd to demo the 2000 with 10k dollars of amps, sources and interconnects...
That NYC show the total system was under 5k with speakers , amp etc...
It can only get better...
on another note..
my main room system I have a pair of Walsh 5 ( ca 1990 or so) that I had Ohm upgrade ... John and Evan did a great job on the "upgrade" to Super Walsh 5 LE....
See his blog...https://ohmspeaker.com/news/how-big-is-a-big-room/
That is my living room , the one with the two dogs hiding in plain sight!
My wife does not let me play them loud... which is a shame as I have them hooked up to Carver Seven-7 Solid state monoblocks... 565 watts / channel... room level... and its great !
Good Hunting
