| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Dale,Thanks again for the great info,Allowing for our fading memories, 8-)how would you compare the sound of the new speakers to the originals?Although your setup is well outside my budget, I look forward to hearing the feedback from those who can... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Mapman,It is interesting to me that running the speakers without the grille covers takes the upper midrange to just about what I'm after.These are the original 20-year-old FRS-11 covers, so I wonder if more transparent cloth is available. | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Mapman,Since the TV is about 56" wide, I can't move the speakers closer together without them standing in front of it. My CD/DVD source is the Oppo 981HD which has me considering an additional audio-only player like the Cambridge Audio 840C. My FM... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Mapman,I remember the 3d nature of the F's soundstage, but I cannot recall the forward/back placement.My challenge in the current room is that I cannot place seating any farther than 11 feet back from the front wall, because of a 1/3 back wall.|==... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? It sounds like you do not notice any variation in tonal balance relative to position, is that correct?If that is so, I may try experimenting in another room. Which would be quite an "exercise". 8-) | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Mapman,I'm noticing quite a bit of "eq" difference as I move the speakers relative to the back wall. It seems to me that placing the speakers closer than 12-15 inches to the wall is related to the upper-midrange effect I was describing.At 12-15 in... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? My one-month comparison:My perception in comparing the F and Series 3 drivers is that the new drivers have a more powerful low-end. The tweeters have a louder very high-end although directional. The 200s play louder than the F's could. I wonder wh... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? My thoughts exactly. It will be interesting to read the independent sonic performance reviews after a year of use.Always wishing the best for anyone following their passion, especially engineers, I hope they turn out to be great. | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Dale,I did understand your point. I found your treatise interesting.My goal with these speakers was to achieve a certain sound. If my goal had been to acquire something conforming to the original engineering design, I wouldn't have bothered with t... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Could you get good response off the back of a standard driver firing down into a cabinet?If the answer is no, then they must be using something different than a standard driver.If the answer is yes, then they've come up with a way to get "walsh so... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Unsound,Ohm no longer uses the original Walsh drivers that were installed in the F's.The new drivers are still mounted at the top of the box and fire down into it. The sound still radiates from the sides of the inverted cone. In the new design, th... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? My 200 series 3s are in a den that is 2/3 open to a nook/kitchen to the rear. The dimension on the open side is 15.5' x 35' x 8'. The closed-in 1/3 is 12 feet deep instead of 35. It amazes me how well the Ohms handle this. The only qualitative dif... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Mapman,What size room are your 5's in? When you were running them full out, were you monitoring the power output of your amp, or measuring in some other way? I ask because I'm really not sure how to determine where full out really is, or if I coul... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Tvad,Sorry to hear you were disappointed.You have to go with your own take on what is worth it. | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I also had a couple of "small shop" issues. Ohm was very responsive and everything ended up fine.I look at it as investing a little of my time in exchange for getting what I wanted at a great value.As you read through this thread, you will notice ... |
