Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Frap, or anyone else, count me in as a future purchaser of a new and improved version of the Ohm F utilizing a true Walsh designed driver. If the speaker had a MSRP of around $5000, it may cause many audiophiles to give them a serious audition. I ...

Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
I owned a pair of Ohm F's for a couple of years and loved them. I sold them thinking I would be able to pick up a pair of the new and improved ones down the road. Ha! Man was I wrong. Why can't someone or company deconstruct and then commercially ... 
Bel Canto, Nuforce, Acoustic Reality, Channel Is.
A friend tried several (all of the ones you mentioned plus a few more) in his system (modwright pre and cdP with B&W 803N's) and didn't purchase any of them. He too was looking for the same type of sound your described. I was there for all the...
