Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu


Santa Claus drops a pair of speakers under your tree in the middle of the night, what do you choose:

  • Pearl Acoustics Sibelius
  • Ohm Walsh 2000
  • Zu Union Supreme 6
  • Bonus Option: Something from Decware with a Lii Song Driver

Extra credit if you add an amp < $5k to the wishlist.

Danke

OHM 3000's here. Love them. They perform great in my above the garage listening room that has slopped walls.

I for one is happy to see the Ohms' lead the straw poll here, although in another forum  they'd be trampled upon.  I chalk that up to habituation and basic design restrictions between an Ohm/Walsh/omni 'anything else' versus the venerable cabinet profile array of pistonic drivers....a light bulb v. a flood lamp being the default description.

Which format recreates 'a reality' more like reality itself, a field of sound v. a source that only disappears when paired properly.  More sensitive to the space it's in due to it's radial pattern of dispersion, true...but the standard issue does as well at best....

But I'm just 'imh'ing...*L* 
 

I would scold Santa for trespassing, littering my house with trash, etc and ask him to take back all 3 lousy speakers and that lousy amp back to his shire.

No thanks Santy...

At this rate, maybe i’ll have better luck with Uncle Lucifer...who may bring something huge and worthwhile....Mmmmmm... like a pair of Tekton Bonnevilles and a pair of Daniel Hertz M1.

I already have a pair of Ohm 2000s but for the 5k you allotted for amplifiers I got an VTV 500 wpc class D amp, an Emotiva PT1 and a pair of SVS column subs for way less than the 5 grand allowed and its stupid good. OMG its clean, powerful, immersive and possibly a verry long term keeper. Well under 10K all in and it really leaves nothing to be desired in my current residence. Once I move back to the house, post-rebuild, I may have a different opinion, but I seriously doubt it. I think its adaptable enough I won't seek to change it.
