What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Oops - *W-B Endeavors 😏 I would also like to hear some Viking Acoustics standmounts (Berlin Evo), Trenner Friedl Ra, and the Wilson Tune Tots are nice, though these may not be current SOTA. Much depends on amps and cable, room, and preferences, o...

I have no doubt any of Dale's speakers would embarrass the plastic driver/sounding 'new' OHMS.

Like Manoterror, I feel badly for the manufacturer of these speakers. They are probably decent speakers, but Mountain-high has poisoned the well so badly as such a shrill shill that the speaker line has essentially has no chance in the marketplace...

Maybe consider the large PBN whip ass speaker (WAS) 
REL G2 or JL Audio F112 ..thoughts for 2 channel
