Audionoobie,I can't tell you what a fine man John is at OHM, I would continue doing business with him just for his character and advice alone. An MIT engineer and gentleman!
I am buying a returned set in Red Oak, my initial preference was the Rosewood or Red Sapelle finish, he told me this:"Chipper, listen to them and if you like them and want them in another finish, I'd be happy to make them and ship them and pay only the difference (if any) and if you choose to upgrade to the 1000's, I'll do that also"
Shocking Customer Service!
