"just don't recall they were viewed as darlings of the
audiophile community"
OHM Fs were and still are to some extent perhaps.
But the rest, even the latest and greatest are not that
exotic and pretty boring to look at.
OHMs have never been marketed to audiophiles, though they
did pop up in various B&M shops in the 80s that catered more
to the masses when stereos were still hot items, prior to
the 80's A/V boom.
But my thought is that anyone these days who has heard and
liked mbl and cannot squeeze that should be looking at OHM.
Not the same, but similar, and perhaps even better in some
ways.
THey've been around for over 40 years now, and advertise by
word of mouth only, so must be doing something right worth
noting. I'd say that is focusing on good sound, value, and
customer satisfaction.
