"this is the product Ohm puts out"

I hear you Mapman and you are obviously very informed.

All I can say is what you see as keeping overhead down, I see as squeezing every last penny possible off the patent.

Maybe. But companies do not stay in business if they do not make a profit. I respect companies that deliver good products yet keep overhead down as much as possible. I am a blue collar kind of guy at heart.

OHM prices have gone up in recent years. The current line is supposedly refined in accordance to help justify that. I have not heard the current X000 line yet, including the latest microwalshes, so I cannot say how the value proposition has changed in fact. I believe they are probably improved or refined to some degree but the difference is described as evolutionary not revolutionary. Dunno. Trying the speakers out and taking advantage of the 120 day in home audition period is the way to find out.

Its a tough business these days. Not sure I would want to be in it.

Yes, as usual you're right,what you say is sensible.

I knew I did not want to be in it when the first PC's came out and the what shall I spend my disposable income on american public cut the midfi, entry hiend market in half in 6 months time.
Those who were not around from say 65-75 have no idea how HUGE the stereo market was.
Nor ,IMHO ,have they any idea how good a lot of that Jap stuff was.

Schubert, I appreciate that. We all have our own learning experiences that we base our decisions on. Its all good.

Hi Harley52

Any updates? Have heard from Ohm Acoustics or gotten in touch with them regarding your issues?
