Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY


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?

Glad to hear that you have had a positive first impression. I have been enjoying my tall 3000s for a little more than a year now. Still discovering how good some of my favorite recordings can sound. The break in period is real and at about 200 hours the speakers really open up. The bass and overall dynamics improve greatly.  

veemike, how are you liking your new Ohms? What components are you using with them? What speaker cables? I am looking to upgrade my speaker cables.

I would just get some canare 4s11 speaker cable and call it good.  If you want it to look fancy, find a seller that puts a slick jacket on it.

Thanks, I was looking at those as well as blue jeans cable 10 white, audioquest type 8, Analysis Plus Black Oval 12 and possibly signal cable. I need a 16 foot pair and I want to keep the price below $500. I will be replacing a 35 year old set of monster M1 speaker cables. I still would like to hear from @veemike.
