No love for the ohm L's huh? Figured you guys would be all over them. Great 70's bookshelf speakers...

BEAUTIFUL system, Joe!!!!!!
Not familiar with them...how about some pics?
Have to clean the grills and find my old stands. Popped them on some old klh's to get them off the floor
The woofers were replaced 10-15 years ago from Ohm. They don't look as good as the original ones with the ohm printed on them, but they tightened up the bass, and seemed to go a bit lower. Overall nice little speaker that doesn't sound little

Nice!!! The only Ohm speakers I've ever seen were the Walsh models - which were impressive.

Is that a Yamaha CR-1020/2020 or even 3020 in your picture there? Sprint loads it too blurry to see and if i tap the picture it starts at the very first picture posted in this entire thread.
I recently got into Yamaha's. Picked up a CR-620 today
Yamaha's don't have the weird vicous pricing issue like Marantz and Pioneer do. Unyet they are beautiful, sound great and easy to work on.

Thanks Skylab. Yes it is a Yamaha CR-2020. Best receiver I've owned so far. Just got a Pioneer SX-1250 yesterday. Can't wait to see if it can dethrone the Yamaha.

Welcome to the 1250 club! I must say those Yammies are pretty nice though.

The Pioneer 1250 is quite desirable. I ended up looking at a bunch of 70s Japanese receivers and integrated amps when I couldn't find a Kenwood 7100 that wasn't broken looking to replace the one I owned for many years. I noticed you had a pic of a Luxman, I bought some of them too all had issues, one caught fire!

Nice catch. I'd be keen to read your opinion once you have had a chance to compare both units. Cheers
Not an integrated, but I love the look of the Kenwood 700C & 700M:
