I have the 5000’s in a difficult room. Their design, along with their adjustability via the controls on the top of the speaker, has made all the difference. They do better on the low end with a sub, and prefer power behind them. In sum, they have achieved what a handful of far more expensive conventional speakers could not. Imaging in this room is simply fantastic and the very reason I gave them a try….they can easily do whatever is needed via adjustment, placement and angle. Inky way to see if they work for you is to give them a try….they have a generous trial period.
Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought)
I demo'd the 1000's at the Ohm factory in Brooklyn several years back. This was way back when I first started my journey into hi end audio. My faint recollection of them was that they were very musical and easy to listen to.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how they would compare sound wise to the Vandersteen 1ci. Is there anyone out there with experience with both speakers?
Incidentally, I spoke with Jake from Ohm this morning. He said that current lead times are around 5 months and he expects that timeframe to shorten moving forward as they got slammed with orders last summer.
