Guys,
I was waiting for the other shoe to drop when I posted that ad! :-)
I remember Mapman saying a long time ago that some people would "get" the unique Ohm presentation and some wouldn't. After a year and a half of living with the Ohms, I think I may fall into the latter category. Or (and I suspect this is part of it) it may have to do with my room.
In any event, I really got the itch to hear what a good monitor would sound like in my room.
I got a pair of Ascend Sierra 1's on 30 day factory direct audition. They're beautiful to look at and their bamboo cabinets are amazingly inert! The reviews are spectacular but I found the sound nothing special. In particular, the sound never broke free of the boxes.
Then on a whim, I took home a pair of PSB Synchrony Two B speakers from one of our local audio shops. And I mean, literally, my jaw dropped. They sounded so fantastic... Detailed, sweet voices, plenty of bass energy for my room, and they TOTALLY vanished, acoustically. Enormous sound stage and great sense of ambient space, along with pinpoint imaging within the soundstage. I had that "I could listen to these for hours on end" feeling.
So, yes, I put the 100's up for sale.
I think it's important to say that the Ohm line is remarkable! I also want to say that I've loved being a part of this thread and this virtual community. And for every person who has discovered Ohms through this thread -- and for every sale that this thread has generated for John, I feel happy. My decision isn't a judgment on any of your tastes and I wish everybody much pleasure and delight now and in the future from music and this crazy hobby of ours. And I still will be recommending Ohms to other people on Audiogon and elsewhere!
