Hand Made in Brooklyn, NY Since 1971!

eminently satisfying

The bass [from the F-5015] is always perfectly fitted with the rest, and the rest is so dynamic compared to the old F that in my opinion Ohm has really made a giant leap in sound reproduction, miles ahead of any other brand of speakers.

First, the expansion of the soundstage is remarkable. The speakers have simply disappeared in a sonic sense. All I hear now is a wall of sound in front of me. There’s no hint at where the speakers may be. Secondly, the improvement in midrange clarity is striking. I can easily pick out individual instruments and details I never heard before. Vocals are crisp, clear and utterly transparent. Third, I can now easily pick out where individual elements are in the sound field where before they were somewhat indistinct. Fourth, the improvement in the low end is great. I’ve been able to substantially dial back the level of assistance from my subwoofer. Low bass was always there before but it lacked a palpable component that I used the subwoofer to provide. You could hear the low bass but not feel it very distinctly. No more. The bass from is now tight, palpable and crisp from the 5s without any assistance or supplement. Moreover, I can now even hear the distinct differences in audio mixing and engineering between various CDs and SACDs which is a totally new facet of listening to the 5s. And I’m getting all this without the drivers being fully broken in yet. They have nowhere to go but up. The best part is that I’m getting an emotional thrill out of listening to updated speakers because they reproduce music in such a fantastic way. Listening to them sends a tingle up my spine - a good thing to be sure.

The Walsh 3000 upgrade has more than met my expectations so, those folks who are sitting the fence wondering whether or not upgrade, do so, you won’t be disappointed.
