| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? OK - day two. I didn't have the strength last night to fiddle with the subs or move the Vandys out of the way. I did toe-in the 2000s just a smidge, maybe 1/2" from parallel.I watched a few tracks from The Best of Sessions at 54th Street (DVD - PC... | |
| Speaker advise for a new Tube Amp. I can't think of a better solution than the Silverline Audio Minuet. They list at $600/pr, but are frequently sold here on the 'gon for less. Pretty efficient, and they can fill a decent-size room. I was very impressed when I heard them with a muc... | |
| Best speaker used under $1000 for piano rec. You might want to check out Ohm Acoustics - www.ohmspeakers.com. You can by a new pair of MWTs right around your budget. These should suffice for a small room (cubic foot ranges for each model are posted on the web site). I am currently auditionin... | |
| Speakers for bad rock recordings I may receive death threats for this, but you might consider inserting an equalizer into your system. I would assume the Onkyo amp has a tape loop, making this possible. I have a Behringer T1951 parametric EQ on a tape loop. As long as a recording... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I did get my 2000s last night! :-)The boxes were huge and heavy, with triple-boxing and wood and foam inserts. Good thing, too: UPS did their usual best to destroy whatever might be inside. They only succeeded in damaging the outer boxes, however.... | |
| NJ Audio Society? Rayr2: If you are still interested, contact Rcprince, president of the NJAS. | |
| Is Rega coming out with an new Apollo CD player?? I don't know, but there was a limited edition Apollo offered through limited distribution outlets. It included several upgrades, both cosmetic and sonic, to the standard Apollo. IIRC, it was for Rega's silver anniversary. I came in between the Apo... | |
| looking for speakers under 3K new or used,,,help Ooh. I forgot one great candidate for a home trial in your price range: The Odyssey Audio Lorelei. www.odysseyaudio.com. | |
| looking for speakers under 3K new or used,,,help In your price range, you might want to try mail order speakers from manufacturers and retailers that offer home-trial periods. Some specific models in your price range:Ohm Walsh 2000 - follow the thread on Ohm speakers here. I am in the process of... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Just in case anybody is wondering about my Walsh 2000 purchase, there has been a delay. First, the finish needed some extra work. Next, John Stohbeen felt, after listening to my pair, that the speakers needed some kind of an adjustment. Expected a... | |
| How much does CD player affect overall sound? While the previous posts are correct, IMO, you can only appreciate quality source components if your downstream gear and speakers are resolving enough to let the better source gear shine. My own experience, in which I upgraded from an entry-level ... | |
| Amps for Def-Tech Mythos STS or ST's?? IMHO, you want a warmer amp for the Def Techs. The Jolida might be a good match, especially with the tube preamp section. Also, you can audition these:NAD C-355BEE (~$700)Rotel RA-1520 ($?) - And don't forget the used market here on A-gon! | |
| Bookshelf Speakers? Some of Alan Yun's designs at Silverline Audio should be a great match. Auditions will be difficult to arrange, however. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? So my 2000s are not coming today. That's OK. I called Ohm, and they held up the shipping, because upon final inspection, they were unhappy with the cabinet finish. They will be applying another coat of finish, and should ship on Thursday or Friday... | |
| Good Monitors for no more than 150? Maybe a used pair of Paradigm Atoms? Any version will do. For new speakers in that price range, some Polk monitors give decent bang for the buck, IMHO. |
