I am original owner of a pair of OHM Ls I still use and enjoy that I bought new back in 1978. They went for about $500 a pair back then. I rebuilt them once myself a few years back and they still sound great and excel with progressive rock music in particular.
These were designed as a smaller option to the classic larger Advents that were all the buzz back in the day. We sold both at Tech Hifi and I clearly recall the Ls lived up to their billing.
One unique aspect of these old OHM designs is that OHM is still in business and provides service, parts and upgrades for pretty much every speaker model they have ever sold, including these. Modern refurbed versions can also be had when available for not much more than these cost almost 40 years ago. If modern speaker large, holographic sound stage capabilities are not a priority, these old simple box designs deliver a of bang for the buck still and are worth hanging on to for life. Modern high quality similar designs like HArbeth for example do not come cheap.
