"Living presence indeed! You need a Walsh to get it."
Yes, would have to agree.
I just received the 51 CD MLP box set and am in process of ripping to music server. I am looking forward to quite a treat!
If you take a good MLP recording to the limit with OHMs or similar wave bending Walsh speakers in general, you are sitting pretty for pretty much everything else IMHO. And it does not have to cost a small fortune to accomplish either! I really do not know of any other way to accomplish that practically?
THe wave bending and how that enables a single driver to function wide range coherently and with 360 degree dispersion so efficiently is the key it seems to me.
When I consider the physics behind this, it makes a lot of sense in terms of getting the most possible out of a dynamic cone driver.
Lincoln Walsh was worlds ahead of his time! Not sure anybody else has come up with a better way yet even after all these years.
In my mind John Strohbeen and OHM are one of the best kept secrets out there in the high audio world. Other than the sound of the speakers these days, nothing about OHM screams "high end".
I find the whole thing quite fascinating and I admire John Strohbeen immensely as a guy who is obviously brilliant but knows how to keep his ego in check and just let his products and customer service speak for themselves.
