To the question "Do O-93s rock?" the answer is a resounding Yes!  Like many in this forum, my musical interests range from classic jazz to emo-adjacent punk rock, with stops at classic and new rock along the way.  I've found the O-93 to be a great... 
Ohm for Sale
Against the backdrop of potentially bad news for the Ohm brand, the comment from the author of the article that "Devore Fidelity...might be one of the few [high-end speaker manufacturers] actually growing in a shrinking market" was encouraging to ... 
2nd system for office, all-in-one integrated suggestions

Distance between speakers - are the physics what they are?
Thanks for the comments so far, picture added. The good news is I usually stand directly in front of the system while preparing food, about 10 feet away. So the question is, would investing in "better" speakers be largely a waste because the restr...
