Ohmspeakers anyone?

I had quite the email conversation with Ohmspeakers just to find out that there is no showroom except the one in New York where they are made. I would like to avoid to drive some 780 miles to listen to a pair of speakers.

I have a pretty decent setup as far as my electronics are concerned, but I would love to hear the speakers with my electronics before I drop thousands into these speakers.

I am aware of the 120 days at home/100% refund thing.

As it turns out, Germany has ambassadors. Here is how that works:

I am interested to listen to the speakers, Ohm learns where I am in the country, and they look up an already happy customer (who is now also an ambassador) and ask them to demo the speakers to the potential Ohm customer.

Do we have such a system in the States?

I am in Chattanooga, TN and I am looking for an ambassador who can demo the speakers to us. Hopefully even with my electronics.

It's possible that an AK member might help you out.

Go to regional events, look for Chattanooga.

I'll see what I can find.
 
If I was near you I''d let you borrow my OHM 2Xo's, but alas - I'm on the east coast. Good luck!
 
The omni-directional designs are totally dependent on the listening room itself, much more than conventional designs.

You'd almost need to hear them in your house.

The 120 day return might not be a bad way to go. Not sure how much return shipping would cost.

Ohm speakers have a fairly small following among audiophiles, but it seems Grumpy (the owner of this forum) really likes the old school Ohms.
 
My only experience with Ohm speakers (but a really good one) was around 40 years ago, when a friend asked me to babysit his beloved Ohm Fs for about 6 months. I still remember the thrill I got the first time I cranked up Spyro Gyra`s "Morning Dance" LP on those beauties, it made the hair stand up on my arms !
