Ojas Audio - High Efficiency Speakers Made in NYC
- Thread starter jeff1225
- Start date
I first met Devon at ETF in Belleme, Normandie and it was obvious from the start that he is very dedicated and enthusiastic about what he does......he was on the lookout for some good bass systems for his speaker line and I hooked him up with Rune Skramstad of NNNN here in Norway.
they have had and still has a very fruitful and interesting cooperation and among other things they installed a great system at Public Records in NYC, that caused quite a stir
the audio industry need people like Devon and Rune to create some interest among people outside the regular "market"...especially young people
Devons "exhibition" in London last year also was a great sucess.....I shipped the A80 over and the gallery owner purchased the entire setup....he obviously saw the value of this kind of exposure.....
and if they end up making some money on it all, praise them....

His Altec set up sounds poor . Everything is outsourced. Have heard it. Lacks knowledge of any recordings or LPs. He attracts a lot of non audiophiles, his background is design. The physical looks are excellent. People sitting in the room were the types who has taken off their shoes, crossed their legs on the lap, and were sitting with their eyes closed. The exhibition was successful. I posted a video somewhere, will try to dig out
In that case it is the Studer, the sound was equally bad either way throughout the day
Nice set Ojas and the turntable and tape recorder are excellent sources so if it played poorly there could be many reasons, he brought his own amplifiers and preamp from the US to the UK so it is possible that he used a 240/110 transformer and this can degrade the sound, I found a description of the system and I know these components a little

Ok , so no food , can imagine the trauma ..!
Their Really was no need to attend , it was bad 50 + yrs or so ago, only the
U -Toob video is different today....
That reminds me of a question asked of a nominee for our Supreme Court.
My speakers are high efficiency, or is it sensitivity, I am not sure, at 105 dB, 16 ohm load. I would say a speaker that can play loud without distortion with a low power amplifier. Where the cut off is likely varies in opinion, but I would say a speaker that can be adequately driven by 10 watts of SET power or less and reach 100+ dB in a normal sized room without strain. Also, preferably a 16 ohm load that does not dip below say 8 ohms. I am sure a speaker or amp designer would have a better definition.
Not that it matters in the context of the conversation but I heard the Klipsch-Ojas speakers a couple weeks back and I thought they sounded very good. They play with cohesion and good balance between drivers, and with a more modern and nuanced presentation than I’ve heard from the Klipsch and Altec Lansing speakers that I’ve owned over the years.
I also think they’re a couple grand overpriced, for what they are, but I’m a cheapskate.

Ok you mean very High Sensitivity with 105db, but where should the High Sensitivity nomenclature begin , 95+ or 100db + .
Industry standards are speakers systems above 93 db are considered High sensitivity and above 98 is considered very high.
89-93 is considered moderate ...
It sounds like you already knew the industry standard and did not need to ask me what I think. My reference was to this system about which the thread was started. I don’t know the specifications, but I assume those speakers are high sensitivity as opposed to low sensitivity, which seems to be the direction the industry is moving, requiring solid state amplifiers of high power. By high power, I mean over 100 W. This system looks like an alternative to that approach.
I personally chose my amplifiers first and then found a speaker that was appropriate.
Those NNNNxOjas speakers look fantastic, love what they're doing
