"this is the product Ohm puts out"

Have any of you guys/gals gotten a very poorly veneered pr. of Ohms? The veneer kinda looks like plastic with a residue left from wiping them off. That's the only way I know to describe it. Where the veneer comes together on the back of the speaker looks like a trainee or myself did this pair. I won't go into what the grills did to the veneer in transit I guess.
Looking at them again and I have to think these are a demo pair. You guys tell me the condition of your speakers when you got your Ohms.
Thanks

That's why Ohm USED to have a dealer system .

One reason I never bought any is that the 6-7 pairs I've seen all looked shabby. Uncool for over-priced speakers in the first place.

They did not put down why dealers deserted them in the late 70's early eighties Mapman, I used to sell them.

I used to get a ton of grief as it was common for them to arrive damaged or have the top fall off in the first week.

Every dealer in Chicagoland bailed.

That Said, I would myself take a chance on them IF they were priced better.I don't buy speakers on looks but for 3-4 K I still think they look shabby.

I hear you Mapman and you are obviously very informed.

All I can say is what you see as keeping overhead down, I see as squeezing every last penny possible off the patent.

Yes, as usual you're right,what you say is sensible.

I knew I did not want to be in it when the first PC's came out and the what shall I spend my disposable income on american public cut the midfi, entry hiend market in half in 6 months time.
Those who were not around from say 65-75 have no idea how HUGE the stereo market was.
Nor ,IMHO ,have they any idea how good a lot of that Jap stuff was.
