It's 5:45am and I have a Bosch binge hangover. Amazon do have some killer original programming. So Im sitting there watching the plot unfold in Bosch's house. Some tuneful music is perking up my ears, a slow pan over the classic stereo with an old pioneer receiver, a tuntable and to my surprise a pair of Ohm2 (I think). If you want to see it, check out First season episode 3... Have a great one..........🇸🇪 |
Well, The sound cylinders are at last here and I though I would share my experience with you guys. As some of you had mentioned, these speakers are indeed power hungry. I am cranking the Arcam receiver to about 60% volume to get good dynamic sound out of them for music and with movies I usually have to go to 65% volume to really get them singing. During explosion scenes my receiver clipped a few times but these speakers are definitely able to handle loud explosions. Overall, I have to say the speakers are an absolute keeper. I have to agree with your findings about the sound stage, the sound presentation and best of all the fact that you can have them blasting for hours without getting ear fatigue and headache. I can’t say, I could do that with any of my other speakers. They are not the most handsome speakers out there but for the money they sound extremely pleasant. They are probably not for super analytical listeners who are looking for the slightest or the most minute details. I ordered a pair of mono block Ncore 500 Class D amps to really give the Ohms some juice (Nord one SE up). I will give you guys more feedback when the new amp is added to the system. Thanks again for all your feedback. |
Will do mapman! I am sure as the speakers and the new class D amp break in, the sound gets better and better. I just have to be patient. From what I have heard, both devices need extended break-in time. After reading the comments about folks adding a super tweeter to their speakers, I was a little concerned that the top end of the Ohms is somewhat dull but It definitely is not the case. Oh BTW, there is plenty of bass available with the 10" driver for me. I have no need or desire to add a sub. Even for HT duty, there is ample bass. I think, these speakers are bottoming out at about 35-40Hz which is fine. Not being able to go down to 20Hz is not a problem for me at all. |
