Ohm E
The Ohm E was one of our most popular speakers. It was noted for its natural vocal reproduction in small to medium sized rooms. It reproduced jazz, folk, and chamber music with exceptional accuracy. The bass can be extended with the addition of SubBass Activators. The treble can be extended with the D-C kit which changes it from a two-way system to a three-way system by adding the high tweeter from our more expensive bookshelf speakers.
Nathaniel Z. writes, “I have owned over 30 pairs of speakers in my life, some costing much more than the model E’s and I have to say that these are potentially my final purchase.”

The OHM E can have tighter and deeper bass with the addition of a SubBass Activator (SBA) and our upgraded ' woofer. The SBA eliminates the drive below the speaker's natural response to reduce distortion and clean up the deep bass. This allows for lower distortion, higher output, deeper bass and a self-resetting protection circuit.
A second (high) tweeter can be added with our D-C kit. This kit includes two 1" cloth dome tweeters (from the C3) with crossovers attached to the back of them. You have to cut a hole (about 3" diameter) with a keyhole or saber saw in the front panel. You remove the old tweeter, run the wires to the new crossover, run the new crossover wires to the old tweeter, reinstall the old tweeter and install the new tweeter. You are back in business with much wider dispersion in the high treble.
Note: Most Ohm upgrades require no specialized knowledge and are easily completed completed by any person. It takes less time to install your own upgrade than it does to package and return ship your speakers to the factory, therefore, we recommend you save time and money by doing this yourself. We ship the upgrade to your door with clear, easy instructions. If for any reason you prefer to have the factory complete your upgrade installation, we will be happy to do this for free, however, you will be responsible for shipping and handling costs each way.
