Everyone has supply chain issues. If you don't like the timeline go and buy something that is in stock and be happy.
Otherwise, get a refund and quit complaining on a public forum.
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?

I can't imagine anyone who wants the sonic presentation of a pair of omnis like Ohm could be happy with Cornwalls. Apples and oranges, as they say. I have a set of Ohms and find them immensely enjoyable -- no urge for any changes. As others have noted, the supply chain for manufacturers of just about any product is not in very good shape right now. My car got clipped in a parking lot last December. It took 2 months to get an appointment at the shop, then that got pushed back a month due to parts availability, and once in for repairs, had another 2 weeks added to the timeline while they were waiting for a $7 bracket that was needed. Things are just a mess right now. |
my luck was not so good with the omni speakers, they must be well away from room boundaries and in a small room, fuggedaboudit. they work as designed only in very large rooms or very heavily and uniformly damped smaller rooms. not for spare bedrooms ever. anything less than perfect room acoustics and they will not give you their much vaunted advantage of total non-localizability and wide sweet spot. |
@veemike , hang tough...Mid-June is 2ish weeks hence, and there's a reason that 'patience is a virtue'.... Most only dream about it, our whirl'd of Instant Grats...nobody likes it. ;) I hope you'll be pleased enough to forget the wait...*S* The Decware offering a planar top is a good move; the original Ohm Walsh had some issues over weak highs....the problem of most single drivers, accented by 360 radiation v. the usual 90~120... Takes a bit more to 'fill the space' with the dB. Vertical alignment = Phase is some one else's issue.. Planars are dipoles, so there is a bit of 'lobe' to the high ends, Beats the typ. tweeter, though... Enjoy the Placement Waltz Time....;) J |
