modest towers with high WAF for living room?
Grilles on all the time? 
Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?
120-day in home trial. For that length of time, you could try out a couple of speakers alongside with little downside, if shopping carefully, finances permitting.

OHM, Decware ERR, Spendor SP100 (if you can stretch your budget), JMR Bliss (or Trentes if you can find them). Read some of Bob Neill's reviews about the JMR line 
is finding a good a/v preamp/amp asking too much?
+1, Bob.

BTW, Tim. I just read through your review again. Nice write-up. Thanks for taking the time for that detailed post.

OK, guys, thanks for the input on Room EQ. It seems, based on the posts, that the best results are seen in bass management.Let's discuss the casters for a second: I can definitely see an advantage when you need to move them. How well does the spea...

Thanks to those you offered information on using room EQ with the Ohms.With respect to the pair of older pyramid-style cabinets that the OP wanted instead of the newer cab styles, given the same internal hardware in an upgraded older-style (cans, ...

Thanks for the info. So at least one has tried it and found it essential; others have not used it but also not found their systems wanting for lack of room EQ. As with anything else in audio, I guess one has to just try it out.I suppose I was hopi...

Thanks, Tim. You actually put into words exactly what I was wondering: How would Audessey, etc. deal with the unique spatial charteristics of the Ohms? Someone out there has had to have tried to implement room EQ and / or bass management with thei...

I do not see any unique issues in general using signal processing technologies like those from Audessey with OHMs or omnis specifically compared to other designs.That's interesting, Mapman. Intuitively, I would have thought just the opposite.I wan...

Any Ohm users also use a pre-pro with advanced room correction software? With this type of speaker, is it even necessary or would using something like Audessey, MAC, or ARC be counterproductive? 
Decware - any substance here?
Soundgasm,Are you using the stock caps and resistors in the ERRs?

Soundgasm,Just a quick note as I only did a quick read-thorough on your post. First, congrats on your new speakers! And thanks for the follow-up. Sounding good working close to the walls is really good to know. 
Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2.
I have the Montana XPs and I need to try a different front-end. I find the sound quite hard at times. Some of that is certainly the room, some of it is the recordings but I have had the speakers in three different rooms and it just gets fatiguing ...
