Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY

veemike, I don't know much about Ohm production, but have you compared with any specialty/custom built product in the last year or two?  Family members contracted to have a new home built last year and the string of delays and price increases has been overwhelming.  And that from a developer with decades of experience.  Unfortunately it is a sign of our times.

Regarding Ohm VS Klipsch, very different sized companies to begin with.  I believe Ohm only builds speakers as specific orders come in while Klipsch has production lines continuously turning out product.  Then the speaker models themselves.  As others noted, very different designs with very different sonic presentation.  They both have their fans.

Not easy, but I'd say just try to be patient.

Get the Cornwalls and don’t look back. I know I have a pair. And customer service is huge deal to me and CRUTCHFIELD is second to none. 

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. 

Understand where your at mentally, I cancelled a decware order when I realized it was over a year wait list. I would wait for the ohms if I were you. It’s not much longer and that trial period is nice.

...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.
