| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @mapman - the spookiest depth experience I ever had was on a computer in my attic, which is located at one end of a long narrow attic with slanted cielings. There was about 5' of space behind my seat, and about 20' behind the desk. With just an ... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? There may be something to the concerns of using solid core wire for power cords. Note, for example, that Morrow Audio uses solid core wire for all of their cable products except their power cords. Just sayin'. | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @snapsc - That is what most omnis excel at. Depth is a little more elusive, which I think, comes more with better electronics, room acoustics, speaker positioning and source material. But height and width? Both fantastic in my room. The speake... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @gdnrbob - A sordid, unhappy, long story, some of which can be found here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/vandersteen-2wq-subwoofers-with-m5-hp-crossovers-help-neededI think you posted on that thread, btw. I am still working on resolving th... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @tyray - When my system was working properly (until last September), I would often crank it. Having a basement Man Cave and a solid old house means I can crank it whenever I want. The 2Wqs work the way a good sub should - they are invisible, and u... | |
| Speaker recomendation Meanwhile, back at The Topic...IMHO, if I had a room that big and $10-15K for amps and speakers, I would probably try this: I would call John Strohbeen at Ohm Acoustics, and ask if the Walsh 5000 would be able to work in that large space. If so,... | |
| 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... | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted @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... | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted @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. |
