Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
@snapsc - If you look at my review for the 2000s in the reviews section here at Audiogon, I addressed most of your questions. I don’t have a lot of options for positioning my 2000s in my room, so they are where they are. That is about 2.5 to 3 fee... 
Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
@audionoobie - I will tell you, but I will also tell you that things aren't good right now, and I don't know why.  I have an Odyssey Audio Stratos HT3 (3 channels), which failed last September.  I sent it in for a repair and upgrade to full Kismet... 
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
@phusis - I don’t dispute that you heard what you heard when you listened to the HRS-120. I would only mention that, I think, GP has made significant revisions to its DDD driver, and I think the HRS-120 included an older version. When I heard the ... 
Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
@roysq - I think John Strohbeen of Ohm is more focused on voicing his speakers to his liking than specifications.  @snapsc - Agreed.  Speaker design is a bit like making sausage.  Especially in the case of Ohm.  I have not been able to do side-by-... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
wolf - As I commented, the REL has some things in common with the Vandersteen subs, but some prefer the HP filter option with their main speakers for a variety of reasons.  For those folks, the REL is not a good option. 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
AFAIK, nobody integrates subs the way Vandersteen does it.  Even the REL, which takes a speaker-level feed from the amp, doesn't offer a HP filter for the mains.  Every other sub I am aware of, if they offer speaker level inputs, it is to run the ... 
Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
Take this from an Ohm fan, I doubt the drivers are made in-house.  The "secret sauce" is in how the drivers are modified, loaded and positioned to both load the cabinet for bass extension and provide the bending wave effect that the original Walsh...

@kdude66  - Tulsa, eh?  Well, all I can suggest is that you contact John Strohbeen at Ohm and/or Larry Borden at Distinctive Stereo.  Maybe they can reach out to someone in your area who owns these speakers and see if they'd be willing to invite y...

@kdude66 - Where are you located?  You never know when aother audiogoner near you has a speaker you'd like to hear.  I have opened my doors to people who want to hear Ohms in my area. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
@enginedr1960 - As I have posted elsewhere, I find the reflections off my 60" plasma that is mounted to the wall behind and between my 2000s to be beneficial.  I tried covering it with a quilt, but it sounded worse.  I think part of it might be th... 
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
@audiotroy - Exactly. The reason I suggested the OP read through that huge Ohm Walsh thread was to get a feel for the kind of audiophile that likes the omni presentation, the pros and cons of it. It was that thread that lead me to try an in-home d... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Sorry I just noticed your posts, @blueranger . I have my 2000s shoe-horned into a pretty tight space, so I cannot verify your 9-12 foot apart issue. I have some CD cabinets that are only about 6 to 10 inches from the Ohm caps. I do have them pulle...

Kenny - All the information on current and recent Ohm speakers you could possibly want is on this huge Audiogon thread -https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/ohm-walsh-micro-talls-who-s-actually-heard-emIt’s a long slog, but if you want a feel fo... 
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
I have heard two models, the Unlimited (now discontinued, IIRC) and the Borderland Mk IV, on separate occasions at Distinctive Stereo in River Vale, NJ (the U.S. distributor for GP).  Disclaimer:  I am a happy Ohm Walsh 2000 owner (since 2009), an... 
Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!!
Update: So I finally got the newest software download, and the blinking LED issue is gone. The USB & Record indicator light does cycle slowly on and off. The Sweetvinyl team is checking to see if that is normal.Now for some good news: Track sp...
