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?

I have been wanting to try a pair of current Ohm’s for several years and just picked up a used 6 year old pair of Walsh Tall 2000’s.  My (somewhat challenged) room was right at the maximum recommended size for these speakers but  I prefer lower volume listening so I gave it a go.  Initially, they seemed a little lifeless and just missing something.  I talked to Ohm and they suggested I adjust the crossover attenuator switch from the stock medium setting to off/low.  Wow the speaker came alive and I love them.  Just a completely different sound.  It feels as if you are in the room next to the artists.  So clear clean and less complex.  Not always better but different in a good way.  Fantastic for live recordings.  These really are a fun special speaker everyone should experience.  Best $1600 plus shipping I could have spent.  Glad you are enjoying your 3000’s.
