| Help with speaker choice I second Gary's comment! The Boleros are probably my favorite speaker, certainly my favorite under $15K. The current version lists for $12K, so the pair for sale are a steal. They are efficient, so your amp will drive them just fine. They are abit... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Tim - I hate to keep flogging this horse, but if you get the opportunity to hear them, the Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers should solve your issues quite nicely. Unlike most mass-market subs, they are designed to go into a corner, on the floor. In my c... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Guys - I really don't know what version I have. I am the third owner. I looked, and there is no "aim toward center of room" sticker on either speaker. My system is a 7.1 setup, with the MWTs on the sidewalls, just behind my chair, and a pair of Pa... | |
| which amplifier best for von schweikert speaker? Funny you should ask this, since one thing I remember well from one of the NYC H.E. shows was the VS room, where a pair of the 4JRs was sounding just okay with a large integrated, but the same speakers sounded incredible down the hall powered by t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Finsup - Listened to two of my favorite 5.1 DVDs last night: "Best of Sessions At 54th Street Vol. 1" and Peter Gabriel's "Play". All I can say is wow! I still have to dial in the channel balance much more carefully than I have so far, but here's ... | |
| Silverline sr 11's No connection whatsoever, AFAIK. The Silverline models of Kirksaeter are just the name of one of its product lines. They are based in Germany. Silverline Audio is an independent speaker manufacturer based in California. | |
| 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... |
