Speaker Suggestions for Next Move
If you already have heavily modded Khorns and still want more, I'm going to jump on the "work on the listening room" bandwagon or the electronic equivalent by measuring room response and figuring out how best to improve it with PEQ. In the 'buy an...

Ohm Speakers Status Update
I truly regret I never got to meet John or talk to him before he passed, I have no doubt I would have liked him.

Ohm Speakers Status Update
I hesitate to open them up lest I break something so I dont know for sure. All I have to go on at this point is Evan's statement that there was no way to adjust the tonal balance on my particular pair. I think I am going to contact him and ask wha...
