| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Cdc: FWIW, I am upgrading to Ohm Walsh 2000s from Vandersteen 1Cs. In my room, with my gear, the 1Cs actually produced a different, but similarly 3-D soundstage as the Ohms. I was surprised by this, to say the least. I have noted above that the 1C... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Cdc - Have you ever heard an Ohm Walsh design? I don't say this to be nasty, I am just curious. If so, what did you think? If not, you should try to find someone near you with a pair that you can hear.Before I started my trial of the Ohm walsh 200... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks, mapman. I could be off base, but don't larger speakers, in general, have more dynamic capabilities even in the midrange? You know, laws of physics, yadda yadda.BTW, I was floored by my Walsh 2000s twice in the last week. Once was while lis... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman - Your points are well taken. The cubic footage of my basement is within, but near the top, of the cubic foot range Ohm specifies for the 2000s. Thus, the subs should help the 2000s by lowering their output below 80Hz.Also, I can't stress t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman: I did remove the subs from the signal chain briefly last month. I am sure the bass output from the 2000s is respectable, but I absolutely love my pair of Vandy 2Wq subs. I missed them enough that I put them back in soon after. I'll live wi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks Mapman, Rebbi & Parasound. I am not putting the kind of hours on the 2000s that many would, so I guess I have a ways to go yet for break-in. Plus, since I am running them with a pair of subs, the 2000s see a 1st-order roll-off beginning... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks, Mapman. Good point about omni dispersion patterns. I am cautiously optimistic about the macro-dynamics. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Parasound - (Sorry this is so long.) While I am not quite 2 months into the demo/break-in period, my only lingering criticism of the Walsh 2000s is the macro-dynamic presentation. However, this seems to be improving. Initially, I missed the startl... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi - Glad to hear it. I know exactly what you mean about instruments sounding like the real thing. One thing the 2000s did right out of the box was this dead-on presentation of timbre. Guitars have a sound that reminds me of when I used to play... | |
| Want to improve sound of Silverline Prelude II As a follow-up to my post above, I am currently in the middle of a home trial of Ohm Walsh 2000 speakers. Compared to my Vandy 1Cs, they are incredibly smooth, not bright, and do not exhibit any of the compression I heard with the Vandy 1Cs at hig... | |
| Sub suggestions There is a review that looks interesting at Enjoy the Music of the Tekton subwoofer ($650), but I have not heard it myself. I have heard an Outlaw sub and thought it was pretty good. I would insist on a home-trial before committing, since you neve... | |
| Replacement for Vandersteen 2C The Vandys are great, but do need a bit of room to breath. I am in the process of upgrading from Vandy 1Cs. Although my room is larger than yours, placement restrictions meant the logical upgrade to 2Ce Sig IIs would not work. I am currently audit... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? Good point, Iser. I added a pair of 2Wqs to my 1Cs a few years ago. I can't imagine a better value (especially at used prices) in subs than these. As I sought to upgrade speakers, keeping the 2Wqs was never in doubt. To my delight, the 2Wqs blend ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Question: When does Porcupine Tree sound like Nirvana? Answer: When heard over my system with Ohm Walsh 2000s! ;-) (details below)Much has changed over the last few days. As I mentioned, I got a deal on a really nice DAC. Although for now the digi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman, everyone else... Thanks for the encouraging words. The 2000s do enough right that I want this work out. The added toe-in has smoothed out the mid-upper treble range considerably, although at the expense of a slightly less dimensional sound... |
