I'll be getting an Ohm Walsh 2000 pair in late December, to be powered by the new Red Dragon MkII 500 monoblocks (Class D amplifiers based on the B&O ICEpower ASX2 module). Will spend Jan & Feb burning in, then will post a review.
Signal Chain:
- high resolution digital files from USB drive
- Logitech Squeezebox (optical out)
- Benchmark DAC1 (XLR out)
- Red Dragon 500W monoblocks
- Ohm Walsh 2000's
Cables:
Each monoblock will be wired to the speaker with 18 inches of Belden 10-gauge 5T00UP speaker cable, bare wire on each end. Canare L-4E6S "star quad" balanced XLR cables will go from DAC to monoblocks.
Room:
- 2,268 cubic feet (21 x 13.5 x 8)
- wood floor
- speakers in the corners of the 13 foot wall
- 8x8 opening on the end opposite the speakers
Stay tuned for a review in Feb 2012 (I hope)!
