OHM speakers are unlike any others in 3D presentation. In my opinion. 25 to 25 with the 5000. 16 to 25 with the 5015! A long time OHM owner since 82. My brother and sister have or had OHMs as well. Once you have them for a while and have become acustomed to the spacious sound, other speakers don't sound right They do best with lots of clean power. Call John Strohbeen and he will tell you exactly which model to get.
Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker?
I'm considering a second set of speakers for my primary system.
I'm satisfied and very happy with my current primary speakers (Tekton Design SEs), so this isn't about a replacement speaker, but I have been looking for something that is different enough from my Tektons, in terms of speaker type and design, etc.
My current top choices being Sound Labs or Cube Audio. Horns, maybe.
Srajan Ebaen's review of the Bliss C a year ago was what first exposed me to Cube Audio and his more recent review of the Nenuphar is stellar. Both reviews are copied in my follow-up post below.
I've been 'somewhat' exposed to full range drivers (or nearly so, with augmentation) as I've owned Zu Audio and Vaughn Loudspeakers and have been exposed to Teresonic speakers and Voxativ drivers. Still, I'm a neophyte with regards to this speaker type (single full-range driver).
Would love to learn more about the pros and cons of owning a true wide-bander and issues, pitfalls, etc. I should consider before moving forward.
Leaving this very general and open. Let's keep budget out of this also (I don't want to complicate the discussion).
More on my system and room and preferences in subsequent posts.
Thanks!
(BTW - I did search the forums and there is 1 wide bander thread and 6 full range driver threads. None apply directly, but I will review each to see what I can pull out that may be relevant).
