Ohm Speakers Status Update

I have not. Ohm Walsh have controlled dispersion and are not full Omni. That alone is a big difference

I have not experienced what you describe with my Ohm Walsh Tall 2000’s.  Live recordings with these Ohm’s are so real and  lifelike.  Have you tried those tracks on another speaker to confirm it is your speakers and not something else?

@tksteingraber 

absolutely...and the very wide dispersion speakers are the only speakers that have resulted in this "phenomenon".

Currently I have the LRS+ paired with a 15" sealed sub.  Great combination but as you know, the listening position is on two people wide and seated...but in the listening position they sound really, really good.  

You can tell people love their Ohms as they almost never come up for resale.

"That is good news. Would be nice if another certain CT speaker builder would follow suite."

Guessing you mean Omega, or an outside contender Source Loudspeaker Technologies?

@snapsc This has never been an issue with my Ohm Walsh 2000s, and I have owned them since 2009.  They do convey whatever soundstage width is in the recording.  That can range from a near surround sound effect on recordings that use phase trickery to move sound about the room, to mono source material, in which there is some width to the sound, but it is all between the two speakers.  Mono sound isn't artificially stereo sounding, but neither is it so narrow as to fit between one's ears.  But put on a hi res track from Porcupine Tree, and you will just sink into the sound as it envelopes your entire room and beyond!
