John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away

Hello everyone ….

I wanted to share with everyone that John Strohbeen passed away …. I just left his memorial service at BWAC (Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition). John’s passion project ( other then Ohm).

https://www.bwac.org

My condolences to his friends and family and to all the audiophiles in the world … I think the attached video says it all …..

To the Ohm community he gave us all the gift of what he would say “seeing the music …”

Missing my friend everyday ..

Bill

Sometimes Digital Evangelist at Ohm Acoustics

Needless to say you can’t replace someone like JS who has had such a huge positive impact on the lives of so many for so long, but given that, I am hopeful his legacy particularly via Ohm Speakers carries on. Looking forward to hearing some good news on that front!

RIP for sure. I have admired the design and sound of his speakers for some time. I never had a pair but an old school friend had an old pair and they always sound fantastic. I kinda wish I would have bought a pair and I do hope the company keeps going...

So sorry to hear. Love my upgraded 4’s in my TV system - his memory will live on every time I play them… hopefully the company will live on as well.

I've been chatting with John since 1986 when I bought my Walsh 4's.

I admired his ability to give a straight answer to any question regarding his speakers.  

Needless to say I admired him and his speakers.  

He built my speakers in 1984; there is JS written on just about everything inside the cabinet.  He may be gone but he does live on in my basement.

Sad, but as time passes, more and more of us leave. I hope it was peaceful.  Is Marty still there?
