Ohm Speakers, thoughts?

I just had a pair of E's that I had traded for. I have to say I thought it was a good value for the money. Bass response was decent, imaging, detail, highs all that good. Wasn't great, but it was and is a $600 speaker. I found them to be impressive for the money. I am about to get a pair of F's that i wll play with for a while before I do something with, just so I know. There is also a pair of A's owned by a local that I have listened to for quite a while and considering the age, I am damned impressed with them, especially the low end response.

John, if those A's ever become available, PLEASE let me know. I will drive to pick them up. As to the F's, drop me a line if you pick them up and we can compare notes. I have two different sets of modified F's that i dearly love and will never part with. There were more than a few variations during their production run, so one set can vary from another. How big of a difference there is between them would depend on how far apart they were in production.

Noel, the original owners of Ohm had sold it to the current owner, John Strobeen. While i guess that he is very good to work with and takes care of his customers, i think that the newer products are WAY different than the "old school" models that you remember them by. If you ever saw that insides of one of their "Walsh series" of speakers, you would be HIGHLY afraid to spend the money on them. Jon Risch described them as being "built and designed by a child on drugs". While they do offer a completely unmatched ( at least in the speaker industry ) amount of time as a trial period, I know too much about their internals to take them seriously. Let's just say that their newer "Walsh's" are not "Walsh's" as you or i would think of them. That is why they say "no user serviceable parts" within their "sealed cans". They don't want you to know what is in there. If you did, not only would you feel sick, the mystique would be gone. Sean

Sean , will do on the A's, though I am pretty sure the gentleman will have to die or become ill 1st for me to get them, and I like him too much to have that happen anytime soon. I kinda have a standng offer with him, and I think if he were to sell them, I think it would be to me. He liked the fact I knew what they were the 1st time I walked in the room, etc. Hell, I was impressed myself, was a very good guess on my part. He is a wealth of information, and can walk into hs closet and pull out stuff I have never seen, a Houdini of audio so to speak, like so many of the oldtimers with a love of audio are and were.
Will do on the F's as well, should have them next week, one of my many trades. I am actually a little afraid to see the condition, but if they are working, I can work with them.

they use an improved version of the original walsh driver. quite expensive, tho...
