Visited the ohm room several times. Not impressed.
NY Audio Show
Anyone going? Looks like a nice show this year in a very nice venue. Wish I could make it. OHM Acoustics/speakers will have a room for first time ever at a show that I know of. Would love to meet John Strohbeen. Sounds like a very competitive setup he wil have there for very modest cost. Interested to hear what others find there.

One the Stereophile reviewers hit teh OHM room. They were new to him it seemed. He acknowledged the big sweet spot but seemed bothered by "ambience" of the sound. That’s was about it. Did have a picture. Maybe not an omni guy or used to that sound. I was not when I first got my newer OHMs. Was totally disssapointed and disoriented at first. Happened again when I first hooked them up to my Bel Canto Ref1000m Class D amps. Sound had changed in a major way each time (in regards to soundstage and imaging) that took time to get used to. Things suddenly snapped into place shortly after. My ears were just not adapted or focusing correctly. I even had older OHm walsh speakers for over 20 years prior to compare to but that did not help much it seemed. |
I agree with devilry, Charney’s full range speaker was very impressive, indeed. YG Acoustic and Hypex guy’s new active speaker (I forgot the brand name) were good. I felt Those 2 speakers are promising. I really liked most of horn or single ended tube amp rooms, but most of the modern high end (low efficient speakers) rooms were very boring. Ohm Acoustics, ATC, Harbeth, Sonus Faber sounded OK, but not as good as expected. I decided to sell my current set up (B&W 800d and Classe amp), and will buy high efficient speakers with single ended tube amp. The show was very educational for me, thank you. |
Tmare, if you looking high-efficiency Loudspeaker, take a look http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/bache/1.htm No problem to listen |
