omnidirectional sound

John Strohbeen (OHM Owner, designer, and accomplished MIT educated EE) has been doing weekly, now biweekly, blog posts on the OHM site here

News And Views blog posts

for about a year now.

JS is a very no nonsense, nuts and bolts guy who also happens to be a very accomplished EE, a lover of music, and even a musician to some extent I believe.

I find many of these very informative not just about OHM speakers but music, home audio, and the science and technology behind it in general.

If one just wants to get at the practical nuts and bolts technical issues that really matter most in the quest for good sound, and cut through the BS, his blogs might be the best single place to get that. His products happen to be a natural reflection of that. IMHO of course.

I'd love to get some discussion going on a thread here somewhere about some of these blog posts.

Check out the one on "Tubes or Transistors" for example.

Atmasphere, are you out there?

Mapman also I think Almarg would be good for technical input to go along with Ralph from atmasphere.

No doubt!

Do a search, there's lots of good posts on this subject in the archives here on Audiogon.

They also pop up used every now and then, and the prices can be good. I just picked up my 3rd set of Ohm's, from a haedphone site, no less!
