P.T. Barnum was right.
If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear
This even without hearing it. The pieces are so beautiful I don’t see how they could not sound fabulous. The Sp10s look like they are built like a tank. I’d even buy their equipment racks. Maybe someday or maybe I’ll purchase something from their sister company Fleetwood sound.

If one listens to appreciate the beauty of music, why not also appreciate the beauty of visual design? Assuming, of course, that the latter does not diminish the former. I could never come close to affording even a knob on an OMA amplifier, but the design and execution of OMA products is stunning. If one can afford it, why not surround oneself with beauty in all its forms? To use an automotive analogy, a 911 Turbo performs beautifully, but is in many ways mundane. You want performance combined with a truly special aesthetic? Try a recreation, like an Eagle E-Type Lightweight, or an Alfaholics GTA-R. They are the equivalent of OMA products. |
Please don't compare HiFi's with automobiles. They are vastly different. HiFi's are not to look at, they are for listening. OMA is all about marketing. @chakster, I am really surprised that you are so enthralled by OMA's marketing BS. You are smarter than that. Please do not judge HiFi gear by it's appearance. It should only be well made of durable materials and perform at a level consistent with it's price. Nothing OMA makes performs at a level consistent with it's price. But I suppose that opinion would vary based on your ability to be able to afford it and I could not. I can only say that it is highly unlikely I would buy any of their equipment even if I could afford it as it does not meet my personal criteria. But, that is personal and other's will feel differently. |
mijostyn HiFi's are not to look at, they are for listening. OMA is all about marketing. @chakster, I am really surprised that you are so enthralled by OMA's marketing BS ...Please do not judge HiFi gear by it's appearance ...Nothing OMA makes performs at a level consistent with it's price.That's an interesting claim. Please tell us about the OMA components you've auditioned that led you to this rather absolute determination. Given that you insist that hi-fi gear should not be judged by appearance, you surely have heard this gear, right? |
