| Best new or used speakers for under 3K? I would also consider a trial of the Ohm Acoustics Walsh 1000s. Assuming an 8' ceiling, this is the appropriate model for your room. I am just at the end of my 4-month in-home trial on a pair of the 2000s (also within your budget, but not necessar... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks, Mapman - I look forward to more comments on the new amps. FWIW, I have a very similar issue with my Conrad-Johnson PV-11 preamp. Most frustrating is that the problem has persisted through two full retubes and a third replacement of the spe... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well, good luck Rebbi, and thank you for your posts, which contributed to my (re)discovery of Ohm Acoustics. Me, I had my previous speakers for about 10 years before I decided an upgrade was necessary. While I agree that hearing new gear and speak... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Finsup - Most of the criticism was that the high frequencies might be a tad rolled off. This might be changed by changing the toe-in, but, frankly, I like the frequency balance as is. Note that although the highs are a little rolled off, there is ... | |
| Best speakers for about $2000 a pair If your room is not larger than 1600 cubic feet, I would recommend trying Ohm Walsh 1000s. They are not too bright (if anything, maybe a tad rolled off up top) based on my experience with the similar Ohm Walsh 2000. They come with a 4-month home t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Good to hear it, Mapman. Finsup, nothing I sent you is private info, so feel free to share. I did indeed install some absorbing foam panels at a first reflection point. This has greatly evened out the sound from the L/R channels, which had been ve... | |
| Ascend Sierra 1 Reference vs. Era D5 Rebbi - If all you want to do is satisfy your curiousity, try to find someone local who owns decent monitors and have them bring them over to your place.That said, I highly doubt you're gonna have any kind of an epiphany when you go from the Ohms ... | |
| Amp for Silverline MInuets The beauty of the Minuets is that they are designed to be non-fussy about amplification. I would look into amps by NAD, Rotel, Cambridge audio, or even better, a little tube interated by Jolida. | |
| Speakers for Odyssey Stratos Extreme monos While I would agree with Wendell in principle, I myself ended up doing it the O.P.'s way. Since you already have the amps, I would suggest you do not commit to speakers that you cannot try in your own home first. The Odyssey speakers have a 30-day... | |
| Decent moderate priced speaker for large room The Klipsch are a naturally good idea - get the biggest model you can afford. Also, most of the horn-loaded, larger JBLs, old Atlec-Lansing speakers, and the like, plus Cerwin Vega speakers, are other high SPL, high efficiency brands.Another idea ... | |
| Do you know how Kirksaeter speakers sound? Heard a few models at an HE show a few years back. Nice, balanced sound without any glare or edge, IMO. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks for the suggestions, Michael. My piano problems are more or less solved. It seems there was a push in the mids that repositioning the speakers and the acoustic treatments have reduced dramatically.Last night I listened to Mozart's Requiem b... | |
| shopping and need advice I am nearing the end of a 4 month audition of Ohm Walsh 2000s. Although these are out of your price range, you might do well with the MicroWalsh Talls, near the top of your range. You did not mention your room size, but room volume ranges are spec... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Big news! My invitation to members of my local audio club has paid off big time. Last night, one of the more knowledgeable members of the club came by.Perhaps it was sloth, perhaps a reluctance to buy into the importance of the room and setup, but... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Joefish - A lot depends on your room. If your room is very large, you will be pushing them harder for the same apparent output level. If pushed too hard, the Yammi could clip, and that could damage the super-tweeter in the MWT (or any speaker). Yo... |
