Rebbi,
My pleasure. Again, as I stated earlier, Ohms are not for everyone, which is a shame.
Was at my favorite local dealer yesterday auditioning CD players. Heard a pair of nice Usher monitors ($2-3 grand I believe) on Cambridge Audio 840c, Audio Research tube pre, Rogue Tube power amp. My toes were tapping. Very full soundstage + very fine performance overall.
The dealer also sells Maggies and Totems. I think I saw the Arros but didn't have a chance to listen.
My recollections of Totem monitors when I heard them years ago is that they were one of the best small box designs in regards to overall performance, sound stage and imaging though.
I heard a pair of small VAndy's loosely in NYC recently at low volume only. My impression was that the presentation was not unlike what I hear with Ohms.
They are not omnis or even pseudo-omnis, like the Ohms, or a box design, but am I correct thinking they are somewhat unique in how they do their imaging from most dynamic box designs?
I'm speculating a bit here because I have not really investigated the Vandy design, only heard them briefly.
I'd also go out on a limb a bit and say that Vandy users also often take well to Ohms and omni designs and vice versa, which leads me to believe that you might as well.
Maybe some other Ohm or Vandy owners could chirp in here?
