Came across a set of Ohm Acoustics FRS-15 on CL. The owner wants $200 for the pair, says they're in excellent condition, both cosmetically and mechanically.
I may go check them out. Any opinions on Ohm Acoustics? I already Googled them and found their web site and several threads in audio forums on them. The manufacturer is still around, and want big $$ for repairs. Hmm.

I think my earlier off-the-cuff assessment was pretty accurate. The Time Frames seem to have a sort of built-in smile-shaped frequency response. Treble is sharper, almost shrill. There's much more bass but it's not at all boomy or thumpy. The Time Windows have a smooth, warm, even sound all across the spectrum. The best way I can describe it is that it's kind of like listening to vinyl on a good turntable for the first time after getting used to CDs. There's definitely much less bass than with the Time Frames, though. I can see why Jim uses a subwoofer with his Time Windows. The differences are really more subtle than I have made them out to be. I'm sure non-audiophiles would not be able to tell the difference, or if they could, wouldn't care. I would be perfectly happy with either, I'd just turn down the treble a notch on my preamp if I were to use the Time Frames.
