...and to johndel1960 - my music tastes have change during my 66+ trips around the sun. I'm surprised how much more Jazz thrills me, prog rock and hi-end instrumental recordings. I still crank up Tho Who, Live at Leeds but with a different perspective.

Greetings All
This is, unfortunately, an uneasy post. I was persuaded to dive into a buying a set of Ohm Acoustics Walsh Tall 3000. My very funky factory loft with 11' ceilings, not a single straight wall, 145 yr. old very wide & distressed oak flooring other issues dictated an Ohm Acoustics design. However, placed/paid for my speakers 11/06/2021. Speaking with Ohm indicates I can expect delivery around the middle of June. That date has krept forever onward. Yes, there was a snafu at Ohm's end that they readily recognize. But poor, poor, customer relations. I have spoken with Jake several times over the last 7 months; quite the gentleman. However, I just no longer have a good feeling that Ohm Acoustics is on top of their game. And the last thing I want to do is spend about $6,000 for a product where the company is gone, out of business.
Crutchfield can ship me a set of Klipsch Cornwall IV this afternoon. My decision process 7+ months ago had me considering either the Cornwalls or the Walsh Talls. I went with the Walsh Talls. Hey, it still may be sonically the better decision. But until I get delivery of my Ohms I'll never know.
Thoughts?

@veemike , I GREATLY prefer the Cornwalls. Why you ask? They have controlled dispersion which is virtually mandatory for a large space otherwise the room will cause problems that can not be easily corrected. With Cornwalls all you have to do is put some absorbing tiles on the side walls. You place the Cornwalls right up against (as close as you can without touching) the front wall. This eliminates early reflections in the bass along with the side wall damping. The Cornwalls are very efficient and very low distortion. They will still benefit from subwoofers, two will do. If you do not have the Extended version of Live at Leeds, YOU HAVE TO GET IT!!! |
Have my original vinyl with all the "stuff" and Qobuz provides me with the extended version. To stay on topic - I'll give the Ohms a serious trial period. And it has to be a serious trial since Ohm says it takes 100 hrs breakin, and no test CD listening. Ohm says listen to music I normally listen to. P.S. If I could figure out the Audiogon SELL classifieds you would already be seeing my Thiel MCS-1 with Thiel stands. Frustrating getting through all the sell-posting lint.

@veemike I know why your listing has not posted Contact Support@audiogon.com and I'll be glad to help. |
I hav3 helped others in repairing, rebuilding Xovers inohm Walsh speakers the quality is pathetic , a Electrolytc capacitor in a Xover does not belong in another but a powersupply ,and 50 cents resistors , even drivers ,China specials klipsch xoverpartsare average at best ,but drivers and cabinet well built and made in U.S.A , and much more efficient even a quality 20 watt amplifier would work well with Klipsch. You should mention what your electronics are and front end ,it does matter as well as. Cables. |
