SPEAKER DILEMMA

[Receiver2000 5,055]

A long time ago I had the Ohm Walsh. Omni speaker.  Speaker placement was not an issue. Simple.  Now I obsess with imaging, sweet spot, etc.

I love my Walsh 4's. I can hear both speakers from any direction. Amazing sound from these Ohm's.

I have finally received the last of the restored drivers from the Ohm corporation. One subwoofer is rebuilt and that's why the difference in appearance. Total of 5 drivers restored by them. It has taken about 10 months for this all to happen because of a couple of transitional periods that the corporation was going through. 

 

The service is still very very good to say the least. 

 

These are 1979 models that I acquired through a person that Greg and I met a year ago. Wow @Nahash5150 it's already been a year. Cant believe it. Our friend definitely had a huge collection of gear and after Greg and I met him I had to grab these speakers. He had 2 sets along with many more sets of other Ohm models.

 

The late John @ the Ohm corporation used to call our supplier the Ohm Museum guy. He was well known for his collection. I was able to get these I's and the Walsh 4's that are in my Living room. I used to listen to the L's when I was in high school. My brother had an NAD receiver, Micro Seiki TT, along with the L bookshelf speakers. Those little speakers always impressed me. 

 

These I's were definitely worth waiting for. I have them paired with the M4.0t MKII that @Nahash5150 built for me a couple years ago and so far with the little time that I have fired them up for some early testing, I have found my speakers that can handle anything I have for power. 

 

Hey GREG!!! I hope you got your crossovers done and are enjoying your set too. Got some clean up work on the covers but other than that they are finished.

I have reached a new dilemma with speakers. I don’t know how I had so many speakers, sometimes 6 pairs at any given moment and end up with ZERO!

 

I advertised the Ohm i’s on the Ohm forum and a guy in Ohio wants them. 
 

So I guess now it’s time to look for a new set of speakers 🤦🏼

I’ve been dying to try a pair of these with the 285…

You may, now, have an excuse to invest in a pair… 😉

There were a lot of speakers at Axpona last year that I wished I could have heard the RAM through them. 😁
