Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu


Santa Claus drops a pair of speakers under your tree in the middle of the night, what do you choose:

  • Pearl Acoustics Sibelius
  • Ohm Walsh 2000
  • Zu Union Supreme 6
  • Bonus Option: Something from Decware with a Lii Song Driver

Extra credit if you add an amp < $5k to the wishlist.

Danke

Ohms.....but I'd want a pair of all of the current lines, so screwed prior to start.

Either that or a 3d 5axis CNC.....also a non-starter....

"...a kite won't cut it, KLAUS!  Get the memo...?!"

Pearl - 

in the right space they are magical. Vocals were as good as I’ve ever heard. 
spatial presentation was spot on. Bass response was detailed and far deeper than you’d imagine from drivers that size.

From my experience the downsides relate to very large listening rooms, very loud listening or listening from afar (ie connected rooms). But if this is not your environment, Pearl all the way.

 


 

From personal experience, can only comment about the Ohm 2000s... they're in my secondary system(living room tv center - using both stereo and 5.1). They sound amazing driven by Primaluna HP Integrated with AntiCables. Also, location-wise, they're not in an ideal spot for serious 2 channel listening but the imaging is incredible for where they are placed. Smooth-as-butter sound(regardless of which amplifier I've used).

Good luck on your search!

Specific to my room setup, I switched from Thiels to Ohm Walsh 3000.  My reasoning is due to the limited adjustment I can make away from the front wall, incursion into the living space.  Most satisfying is that the Ohms's sweet spot is quite wide.
