Dave,
They are visually pretty cool looking, at least I think so! Kelly is getting used to them. They're about twice the overall cubic volume of the Sophia 2's.
Jim,
Nice to see you know of Bill. Ohm did a lot of things really well, but consistency in driver production and good material science were not among them. Bill made hundreds of small changes to improve the performance.
Back in the day, I had an SAE 2600 driving mine - I think it was 600 wpc into four ohms. So I frequently blew them up or shook them apart, pretty much in equal measure.
I've been routinely hitting 100 dB spl peaks with an MC 275V, so there has been a big efficiency improvement. Hopefully these will stay together.
Tom
