| "this is the product Ohm puts out" "All I can say is what you see as keeping overhead down, I see as squeezing every last penny possible off the patent."Maybe. But companies do not stay in business if they do not make a profit. I respect companies that deliver good products yet kee... | |
| Does it bother you? Well, I'm sure there are good recording studios, production companies and engineers and not so good ones. The variations of sound quality I hear recording to recording help confirm that. For me, its a reasonable audiophile goal for their system to... | |
| "this is the product Ohm puts out" "That Said, I would myself take a chance on them IF they were priced better.I don't buy speakers on looks but for 3-4 K I still think they look shabby."Well, they are what they are and like most everything else in home audio, the looks will not ap... | |
| "this is the product Ohm puts out" Why did they desert them?I used to sell them as well part time at Tech Hifi in NJ circa 1978. The one I worked in sold refurbs of all brands of equipment THF carried, including OHM.I talked to one still thriving local Baltimore area dealer who use... | |
| Does it bother you? I do think high end audio is a much riper playground for charlatans in general than is the recording industry, where people compete for jobs based on actual skills and abilities. | |
| Does it bother you? "Does it bother you? Do you find it strange that the people who record the music that you listen to aren't interested in "tweaks," and expensive cables, and alarm clocks with a sticker on them?"I don't find the alarm clocks with sticker on it part... | |
| Does it bother you? I know there are some professional sound engineers that are also participants on this site that buy into the audiophile mantra to a great extent. I'd like to hear what those folks have to say about this. | |
| Does it bother you? Maybe its easier for the professionals to record the music than it is for audiophiles to play it back because they are professionals trained to do this stuff. | |
| Does it bother you? I love this thread! | |
| "this is the product Ohm puts out" One can check out the 40+ year OHM company history Here. It explains what happened to their third party dealer system in the 90s and why they went to direct sales earlier than most. "Distribution disaster strikes. Tandy cannot profitably compete w... | |
| "this is the product Ohm puts out" Harley, sounds like they are new. Definitely call OHM and talk to John Strohbeen. He has a great reputation for customer satisfaction. | |
| "this is the product Ohm puts out" My two pair can be seen in my system photo montage.The F5s I bought straight from OHM use refurbed OHM F cabinets from years ago. They arrived and remain in essentially perfect condition, no flaws/defects.The smaller 100 series 3 speakers I bought... | |
| "this is the product Ohm puts out" Harley, which OHM model specifically? Are they brand new from OHM in Brooklyn? OHM Walsh speakers have been around since ~ 1980 or so and veneers can vary quite a bit. Currently some OHMs are sold new and some are sold for discount with refurbed o... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 3/3000 Speaker I like the newer KEF speaker technology a lot on paper. I've almost pulled the trigger a few times. If I ever do, a KEF/OHM comparison would be forthcoming. :)Schubert, also keep in mind that the wide range omni design of the OHMs and the large "s... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 3/3000 Speaker I also have a pair of Triangle Titus XS bought new ~ 1998 for about $500. Still love them. They are similar efficiency to the Silverlines and tend to sound best with tube amps. But they are small sounding compared to my OHM 100 series 3 speakers. ... |
