Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY

...and to johndel1960 - my music tastes have change during my 66+ trips around the sun. I'm surprised how much more Jazz thrills me, prog rock and hi-end instrumental recordings. I still crank up Tho Who, Live at Leeds but with a different perspective. 

Have my original vinyl with all the "stuff" and Qobuz provides me with the extended version.

To stay on topic - I'll give the Ohms a serious trial period. And it has to be a serious trial since Ohm says it takes 100 hrs breakin, and no test CD listening. Ohm says listen to music I normally listen to.  

P.S.  If I could figure out the Audiogon SELL classifieds you would already be seeing my Thiel MCS-1 with Thiel stands.  Frustrating getting through all the sell-posting lint.

Thanks EVERYONE for the input.  I realize I had to chill, especially after reading so many others' Ohm Acoustics experiences.  There is merit to doing business with the small guy.  

I decided to ride this one out. As promised for the 2nd or 3rd week of June is really only ... 2 or 3 weeks away!  And I waited this long.

Hindsight being 20/20 is always easier to throw stones.  Knowing what I know now I probably would have gone with the Crutchfield in-stock Cornwalls.

FYI - I currently have April 1997 matched s/n Thiel MCS-1 on the custom Thiel audio speaker stands playing through PS Audio MS700 class D monoblocks, PSA BHK Signature pre and PSA Stellar Phono pre + other accoutrements. The THIEL speakers are fine except for my current loft space they have to play louder then reasonable considering a downstairs curmudgeon. 

Speakers arrived. What beautiful pieces of furniture! I purchased my Walsh 3000 Talls in the red sapele.  Interesting about the recommended break in period - SO TRUE!  Out of the box they lacked... a lot.  Interesting though that after about only 3 hours the sound has improved markedly.  So far I now see no reason to hang onto my 1997 matched S/N Thiel MCS-1 speakers.  I may continue this topic as a new thread once I get a couple dozen more hours break-in behind us.

Thanks to all who calmed me down, talked me back from the edge. ONE OBSERVATION - this coming from a newbie to the forums - A percentage of the responses to my original post were absolutely not helpful, were not even remotely on topic. I also noticed that many of those irrelevant posts were from posters with many, many prior posts. Observation, just because you yell louder doesn't make you correct or even relevant. To everyone else, thanks. 

Revisiting my original post. Time sure flies!  After about 21 months I love my Walsh Tall 3000s.  My system is mostly PS Audio, the preamp the BHK Signature, the power from the Class D M1200 monos.  They are in a factory loft on a 14'sq. persian carpet usually around 18" from front wall. Rough masonry ceiling is 11'. 

Here's my dilemma, or maybe my own personal hangup. They sound GREAT! But these cost me new only about $5k. This month's Absolute Sound features the new Magico S3 M-Cast for $45,500.  Would they sound appreciably better than my $5k Ohms? All the reviews I ever read, even listening to The Audiophiliac (and giving Steve Guttenberg a call) come back with "they sound so much bigger than their $5k price."  TT is a Rega P10 with Aphelion 2 cart. 

So close to 2 years in love the sound AND THE LOOK. They "fit" my room's decor and how I want a speaker to look not 3'-4' into the room.
