Ha nice man, I don’t live in that house any more and the video was only meant to show that the marantz amp worked well, I had a rogue audio at the time and currently have mcintosh gear.

Long live Ohm speakers and vintage amplifiers! Nothing wrong with vintage amplifiers. They outperform the majority of the garbage produced today. Do they have the connectivity and digital outputs? No. But what they do have is timeless design, stellar build quality that’s meant to last and a unique sound signature that to my ears is better than all the new bullshit on the shelves nowadays. Sue me.

I don't know about that I've heard the JBL L100s personally I don't think they are better, but that's the cool thing about speakers there is a sound for everyone, I have owned klipsch cornwalls and fortes and many models of B&W speakers, and many other brands, to my ears the ohms are the best, they image like nothing else, and there is actually enough bass, I could turn the adjustment on the bottom of speaker up for the bass, but honestly for my room and if you heard it in person its too much. I moved a year ago and they are closer to the wall in my new house and the bass is even more pronounced due to proximity of the walls. I recently bought a very rare set of AR 10pi speakers and I might have to upload a video when i get around to testing those.

But I’d say they are on the same level.

I believe they were two way speakers and when those Walsh tweeters were working they sounded fantastic ! But those Walsh tweeters would blow every time he would turn it up . I would have bought a pair of those speakers myself if the Walsh tweeters wouldn’t have blown out all the time. Probably still the best tweeters I’ve ever heard in a speaker ! I’d like to have a pair today if the tweeters were any good. That is to bad about the tweeters.
