Does anyone remember Ohm I speakers?

OK were talking vintage here. Wonder how these compare to new speakers? I have a set and compare them to PSB Stratus Golds. I had upgraded all drivers in the OHMs over the years. To me it is a toss up. The PSB has better imaging and maybe midrange tonality. The Ohms go deeper in the bass and play louder. The presentation of the midrange is different cause of top speakers point up. The PSB does have a slight edge. Has anyone else compared the OHMs to new speakers? Maybe I am a little biased toward OHM. I have read that speakers and amps , preamps that fidelity has changed the least. Digital sources the most. Any comments appreciated.

Thanks all. I have heard many speakers in showrooms over the years and I only heard an appreciable difference with the megabuck speakers 5K plus.

Rcjl. I see you have the same opinion I have. Greta speakers huh. My OHMs had all the upgrades except for the 12 woofer upgrade and the crossover. Question. How much wattage are you pushing them with. Right now I am biamping with A Tandberg 150 watt 3026A (In clasifieds here)And a 300 watt Bryston 4b SST. Sounds awesome. Makes my ears bleed!!! About the Thiels. Have you auditioned them? I am no expert on all different brands of speakers. I too looked at getting a pair. Then I read that they arent the best for rock music. Best for chamber music. Check them out to make sure thats what you want. I checked out Paradign(spelling?),and some others in the 2-2.5k range and they were not much better or better at all. Only speakers that cost much more were different.
