Many thanks to the OP for posting about his experience and to everyone else who chimed in about Ohm speakers. Partly on this basis I have ordered the 4900's for my large room. After a few years off from being an audiophile I am back in the game. Listening to music I like from a Sonos just was not cutting it at all. Plus, I want my young daughter to really experience the music she clearly digs.
Besides the Ohm SSC-4900's I have ordered an Apollon Audio Stereo AS1200 Amplifier to drive them. Should be enough power ha ha. Debating music streamers now. Might try Marantz NA6006 or a Bluesound Node 2i (possibly with a Schitt Bitfrost). Just gonna stream Amazon HD so don't need anything else.
FWIW I used to be in deep. Had all Audio Research amp electronics, an EAD CD player, fancy cables, VPI Aries turntable, etc. and Dunlavy SC-IVa speakers. I had a pretty good sounding system.
Recently, I got a Schitt Jotunheim and an Audeze LCD-X and have really been enjoying that streaming from my Macbook. Looking forward to sharing music again.
