It's a tough job, writing up a comparison of speakers going back 40 years, and I do plan on an extensive write up this fall - after 6 months of ownership.
Here are some broad thoughts:
1. No speaker we have had here sets a soundstage as do the Ohm's. For example, on Roger Water's "In The Flesh", during "Another Brick", one can clearly hear the audience clapping in sequence to the beat of the kick drum. This clapping takes place to either side of the listener, placing one in the audience. The singers and their instruments are clearly presented across the stage. It's a remarkable experience, and no speaker has come close to this level of immersion, with the exception of the DSP controlled Axiom LFR-1100's.
2. Vocals sound more "live" than with the Ohms than even with the Legacy Signature SE's. My daughter loves to listen to opera on these speakers. The clarity of these speakers continues to amaze. Acoustic Guitar (my son is a terrific guitarist) has that weight that a real guitar has without a hint of bloom.
3. They need power - I recommend a good 200 WPC amp, primarily to avoid any clipping.
The best par of the Ohm's is they make me want to listen to more music. I look for excuses to hide out in the basement high end room so I can listen.
