Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY


Greetings All

This is, unfortunately,  an uneasy post.  I was persuaded to dive into a buying a set of Ohm Acoustics Walsh Tall 3000.  My very funky factory loft with 11' ceilings, not a single straight wall, 145 yr. old very wide & distressed oak flooring other issues dictated an Ohm Acoustics design.  However, placed/paid for my speakers 11/06/2021.  Speaking with Ohm indicates I can expect delivery around the middle of June.  That date has krept forever onward.  Yes, there was a snafu at Ohm's end that they readily recognize. But poor, poor, customer relations. I have spoken with Jake several times over the last 7 months; quite the gentleman.  However, I just no longer have a good feeling that Ohm Acoustics is on top of their game. And the last thing I want to do is spend about $6,000 for a product where the company is gone, out of business.

 Crutchfield can ship me a set of Klipsch Cornwall IV this afternoon. My decision process 7+ months ago had me considering either the Cornwalls or the Walsh Talls. I went with the Walsh Talls. Hey, it still may be sonically the better decision. But until I get delivery of my Ohms I'll never know. 

Thoughts?

veemike, how are you liking your new Ohms? What components are you using with them? What speaker cables? I am looking to upgrade my speaker cables.

I would just get some canare 4s11 speaker cable and call it good.  If you want it to look fancy, find a seller that puts a slick jacket on it.

Thanks, I was looking at those as well as blue jeans cable 10 white, audioquest type 8, Analysis Plus Black Oval 12 and possibly signal cable. I need a 16 foot pair and I want to keep the price below $500. I will be replacing a 35 year old set of monster M1 speaker cables. I still would like to hear from @veemike.

 

 

Which cable? Canare 4S11 or Belden 10 or 12 gauge? How long are your cables?
