Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions?


I'm looking for some new monitors and am considering the Mobile Fidelity OML-1. Anyone out there own them or perhaps have auditioned them lately?

Many thanks,

John

Audiofeil,

I read Audiooracle intial responds about the OML-1 and I didn't get the impression that he was trying to sell anything. Matter of fact the impression I got was that he was trying to give Jpstereo a "point of reference" in regards to the similiarity of OML-1 and the LSA monitors (that he sells) and the VR 1s. Matter of fact, I recently read a review that compared the OML-1 and VR-1, and pretty much talked about their similiarities. As such your comments towards him in this thread are "way out of line". Perhaps you might want to turn your "senitivity meter" down a notch or two. You know I used to work retail myself, and I can certainly spot a sales pitch and in this case, none existed.
Jpstereo,

Here's a link to review that compared the OML-1 to VR-1.

I've never heard, the OML-1, but have heard the VR-1, which I liked. In reading the review, it appears that the reviewer liked the OML-1 better. If that's the case, the OML-1 should be a fine sounding speaker. Of course, your ears need to be final judge.
"You must have missed his allusion to another speaker which wasn't mentioned by the thread initiator."

Yeah, I did notice he mentioned the LSA monitors (which he sells), and their similarities with both OML-1 and the VR-1. But "so what", that's not a "sales pitch". And anyone with an IQ of 70 or so would know that. The fact that you would attack another Audiogoner's character and ethics over such a "trival" thing, speaks volumes of YOUR character, and just how "petty" you are to other people. Must be nice to be able to walk on water, You do walk on water, don't you? ;-)
