In fact, I was very impressed with the sound and design of OMA. I have been following them for many years and have always wanted to listen. I was attracted to everything they do. And when I met Jonathon personally, it was the same meeting as with Luciano Povarotti. What they do has soul. Rarely do you have the opportunity to see and hear this. I recommend to everyone. But I found one drawback, there was no image, I did not see the sound like a movie. It is possible (most likely) that the socket in the room of the exhibition center in Munich was not heated enough!!!!! Or not warmed up at all. Four days of the exhibition is not enough for a good sound. It takes at least 50-100 hours for the magnetic fields to build an electronic path for sound.

You want a narrow speaker OR a wide speaker to push diffraction up or down in frequency. What you don't want is something in-between. That hurts the mids.
I mostly agree with this man's speaker design philosophy. Large drivers on large baffles increase the scale or "bigness" of sound, a much neglected aspect of high fidelity. Real instruments are generally large and emit larger sound waves than that of mini monitors. The large wave launches of big speakers mounted on big baffles might not image as well but they interact with the room more like that of real instruments than do tiny point source drivers which render toy sized versions of instruments like a grand piano. Yes, scale is very important to sonic realism. It's why when folks are asked to vote for"best sound" at an audio trade show, it's almost always the big or enormous systems that win.
the fact is that there were systems with even larger speakers and ordered twice as much. It is very important that the system does not have any transistors and the signal path is short.

I have a nice system, but this is clearly out of my league. But, if I won PowerBall.....look out!!! I admire Oswald Mill's obsession in pursuit of audio excellence. Would love to see the usual reviewers critique this system.
It is important to understand how beautiful the sound is, and not the numbers in the specification 0.0000000% nobody needs it)))) I like the approach, I heard a lot of "computer" systems that are generally impossible to listen

Completely agree here. Sure OMA make beautiful looking systems. And I don’t doubt they sound amazing. But the way this guy talks is such a turn off. He comes across as a complete ass. If you truly have the best hardware in the world, it should do its own talking. Not you.
this is a completely different kind of system, there is a minimum of components, parts, wires, drivers, etc. in the way of sound and, accordingly, the sound is completely different! ;)

Answer me this. Why does high end audio look uglier the more expensive it gets. The gear looks like some old contraption that was made on the Back to the Future set in the 80's. Wires everywhere, Wierd bulky boxes, all different sizes & not matching. More money than sense. Not jealous, honestly wouldn't want it if you gave it away free.
This is a work of art, this is design, more than just audio equipment. And of course the sound. This is the most lively and musical system in the exhibition.👍
Typical hifi to me is plain and boring. For example those Dali speakers that everyone is oozing about? I really see no advancement nor any visual appeal in ever wanting to own something that looks so atypical. It’ll never sound live either, it’ll just sound molded will be limited to near field and barely mid field listening.
When I hear “A speaker baffle must play”, I always wonder how people who purchase this bs made their money. People knows a guitar plays with its body. This is deliberately. And it’s easy for them to imagine the same happening to a speaker baffle. And they gave their money to that blablabla-man. A baffle can only make an accent at some narrow freq range if a driver is not an ideal. Only in this case. That’s a maximum. If you really would like to hear how a speaker can play like a guitar, put a driver into a guitar body. Nobody will like the sound.
Unless you are a male in a gay marriage, or single, those speakers won't fly . one hundred year old wood is fine for transmitting sound, but aircraft grade plywood is a more logical choice for a sonically inert cabinet. I've now seen this guying a couple of videos, where he has an unfortunate tendency to shade the truth. I've owned JBL compression ring inverted horn drivers that directly contradict his statements. and while concert industrial drivers can be very high quality, for home use , with that kind of money , insist on custom medical grade drivers and most people know that band instruments are available in "plastic." sousaphones, the marching tubas, are a common example, but saxophones and other woodwinds are also valid concert instruments. One big guitar brand only uses wood tops, with composite 'plastic" used for the rounded backs.

You want a narrow speaker because of baffle step diffraction, there is a technical reason for it.

Exactly cut the video precisely when the stylus was touching down the record. No comments.
Guitar wood should have the opposite properties from speaker wood. Guitar wood vibrates, whilst speaker wood shouldnt.
