| Bi-polar (or Omni-polar), gimmick or real deal? Hi! I left a response about my omnis (Ohms) on your other post about buying without audition. I really love my Ohms. They give you a room filling soundscape that's hard to beat when set up properly.My advice is for you to read the Ohm threads ... | |
| Buying Without Audition I'm located in Louisiana and Hi-Fi shops are few and far between. I started researching speakers and a picky audio friend said that I should audition OHM speakers as he inherited a pair from his brother and he was sure that I would be more than h... | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs Back in the 70's when we had Stereo Review and High Fidelity, I would regularly read the equipment reviews and look at all the specs to see who had the best numbers and try to make my choices accordingly.These days, I'm inclined to take a selectio... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondmanp,Yes, the Ohm's still continue to amaze me. I first noticed the string oscillations on the Yes song Roundabout. The acoustic guitar intro clearly showed the string oscillations and textures that seem to be hidden with other speakersThe s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? For the past couple of weeks, I have been re-visiting every post on Ohm speakers (including my own) on this particular thread. I started my journey with Ohm speakers in September of 2009 with the micro talls, and I was so smitten with them that I... | |
| Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement I clicked on the website and was surprised to see a picture of the exact Dynaco 400 amp that I had in the 70's. My set up at that time was the 400, a Dynaco pre-amp, an Acoustic Research FM tuner, and a pair of Acoustic Research 3a speakers. It ha... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Glad that you decided to test drive the Ohms. If you decide you don't like them you can always ship them back. I really don't think you're gonna want to send them back once you get them set up properly and hear what they're capable of.Please keep ... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? I've had my Ohms since 2009 and I'm extremely happy with them. I started with the Micro Talls, and I was so impressed that I upgraded to the 1000's. I run them with a basic 100wpc Yamaha receiver in an 11X11X9 bedroom.Before this set up, I had a c... | |
| REL Strata III - faint crackle/pop sounds Try connecting a different speaker to your set up to make sure it's the speaker and not something else in the chain? | |

| Headphones for Hearing Aids You might audition the Bose Around The Ear series headphones. I've read reviews of people who use them with hearing aids with good results. I have a pair of the AE series and they have a good balanced sound and are very comfortable. You can auditi... | |
| Headphones for Hearing Aids Try the Bose line of over the ear headphones. I've read that they work well for people who wear hearing aids while listening. They're available to demo at Target and Best Buy. I have a set of the AE series and they have a good balanced sound. They... | |
| Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old Acoustic Research AR 7 was the smallest, cheapest, and most amazing speaker that they ever made. I had them on top of a roomates out of commision much bigger Altec Lansing speakers. Everyone would always think the larger set was playing. Only when... | |
| Speakers that turn your analytical mind off? My Ohm 1000's let me completely forget about the speakers and just enjoy the music. I"m still having a giggle fit over Lindisfarne's response!!! Priceless indeed!!! | |
| Speakers that do pianos really well I find that my Ohm 1000's are by far the most satisfying speaker I've heard in terms of their reproduction of piano. Other speakers that I've owned made all piano sound about the same. The Ohms bring out textures, timbres, harmonics, and details t... |
