Ohm TRS212 or Martin H3

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi Everyone,  
Just wondering how these boxes compare in terms of sound quality?

I have 4 x Ohm TRS 212 (early carpet versions)  I have found some reasonably priced Martin H3 speakers and I'm pondering a change to the Martin H3 cabinets.

I have 4 x Martin S218 already so aesthetically it makes sense, I play disco, funk, soul and afro mainly and I sometimes work with bands for small live gigs.

Cheers!

	Martin. Definitely. Those early carpet covered TRS tops aren't that nice plus they are only 2-way where as Martin is 3-way. And they will go well with your subs too.

	As above. The H3 is a much nicer sounding cab... to my ears anyway. Always found the Ohm to bit a bit 'grating' when pushed.
	Chas n Dave : it's like Drum and Bass but with beards. E=mc² ±3dB

	One of the nicest systems I've ever heard was an S218/H3 combo, fantastic cabinets.
