| How do you add color? Let’s talk about touch sometime. Nothing like a nice bass punch. We do feel bass more than hear it. That’s a fact! Now let me try and hear some color in my sound. Only technicolor will do. Not to mention a soundstage in CinemaScope. Yee ha! | |

| John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away Needless to say you can’t replace someone like JS who has had such a huge positive impact on the lives of so many for so long, but given that, I am hopeful his legacy particularly via Ohm Speakers carries on.

That aside, if you have even a very modest budget by high end audio standards, and do your homework, there is in fact a decent chance that you land on a relative "giant ... | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance @jastralfu I guess my point is exactly that. Different strokes for different folks. In sound just like art. Do you prefer a high res detailed image of your water lilies or a more abstract impression? How about of Medusa? Maybe if enough detail i... | |
