omnidirectional sound

Just had a long listen to two HHR Exotic Walsh models at Axpona. There was also a vintage Ohm speaker at the show. Dale Harder's HHR was among the best rooms at the show.

Tell more about the hhr exotic sound.

Martykl is another ohm affection in these parts.

I have a lot posted around here on the subject. Contact me via agon and am always glad to discuss.

I have 3 pair of ohm speakers plus a pair of dynaudio and triangle currently. Been an ohm owner for 37 years running now.

I only heard the $15k 187 lb. TLS-1. It is the purist version, with a single 3" voice coil and 12" hybrid titanium/aluminum/paper cone. The entry-level $6.5k TLS-5 with 8" driver is a two-way.

At this show I commuted frequently between the MBL 111 & 116 rooms, and tried to put the HHR in perspective with these and also with the German Physics from prior shows.

HHR does all the good things with omni of GP, but with more precise imaging and resolving power. In this respect they about equal the MBLs, while lacking the signature MBL dynamics and LF grip. But the HHR's combination of lifelike refinement and utterly seamless coherence is unprecedented. This one had it all over the Quads at the show--just to pick on the only other single-driver full ranger I could find here.

Add some Dynaudio Xeo wireless speakers to your system.

How do we start a more in depth conversation on Ohm speakers?
Thanks.
