The survival of the fittest.

One other thing with Ohm is other than being located in NYC, there is nothing fancy or pretentious about their operation....very blue collar/nuts and bolts. I suspect they do a very good job of keeping the overhead low.

Atmasphere also offers products with unique design and performance that offers good value compared to many. He also seems to have a very good rap for customer service.

Tekton’s strong point is offering good value products that are generally more tube amp friendly than most.   A nice niche!

One other very unique aspect of Ohm that helps I suspect is the patented, totally unique design and performance aspect of the Walsh products. That clearly differentiates the products from others. It helps to have something unique of value to offer.   There is nothing else out there I know of  that can easily replace a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers at any price. 

The Ohm website says they continue to be very busy and backlogged.  Ohm has quietly been around for almost 50 years now.  Started out as very successful  Tech HiFI house brand, then sold through other B&M chains,  then direct only since the mid nineties or so.   Of course the Ohm claim to fame is the unique Omni Walsh driver technology the company was initially built around.   Today they continue to provide upgrade parts and service for every model they have ever made.   They have a very loyal customer base built up over the years and rely largely on word of mouth and web spots for advertising.  Every model offers excellent sound and value.  A good product + value. + customer service = success.  All hand made in Brooklyn USA.
