Ohm Speakers Status Update

@veemike -- "Keep in mind that these speakers have a wide sweet spot. You are not cemented to a tightly defined listening position."

I have a set of Ohm 1000s that I really, really enjoy. Besides their very natural voicing, I agree that one of their other best traits is the enormous sweet spot.  I can't tell you how much I enjoy being able to move around and have the sound image remain realistic, unlike most speakers where the presentation goes south as soon as you're out of the one magic spot. 

The best description for me is it is like listening to live music.  It is still realistic no matter where you are in the room. 

I also have my Ohm Walsh Tall 2000’s set up in a very similar configuration.  1 foot from wall, 6 feet apart with my audio/video cabinet between them and 10 feet from main listening seat.  Set up diagonally off a corner with a single sub in corner. My room is open design 24’x16’ with 9’ average vaulted ceiling and hardwood floors with rugs.  Being semi omni speakers the only treatments needed was a corner bass trap in the corner behind them.  Agree you can move around the room with minimal SQ drop. I agree the sound is just so realistic and sounds more like live music than other speakers I have owned.  Just love these speakers in my living space.

Fyi- are you aware that the new Ohm versions have a 3 position attenuator switch on the crossover board. Off/Med(factory setting)/High located behind the speaker terminals.  When I received my speakers they seemed a bit veiled and dull.  When I switched the attenuator off  my room came alive. This may not apply to everyone but a nice hidden feature that allows you to adjust to your liking. 

@tksteingraber Your 2000s have a tweeter attenuation switch? That used to be available only in the 5000s, IIRC. My 2000s are an early production pair, and lack any controls. When did you buy yours?

@bondmanp I bought mine used a several months ago and verified they are 2017-18 production.  The switch is on the internal crossover board.  You have to remove the speaker connector plate and pull it carefully out to access the switch.  Evan from Ohm verified it was available and how to set the switch since it’s only marked with a red dot at one of the settings.  Made a nice improvement not just the tweeter but overall too.

The attenuation switch seems like it would be a good selling point for ohm and should be described on their website and included in their manuals.
