| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I hear ya, rebbi. The 2000s were a stretch for me too. But, I'm almost 50 years old, I get almost nothing from keeping the money in the bank, and with the kids about to start college, this may be my last chance for a decent pair of speakers. Consi... | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C FWIW, I have a pair of 1Cs, and they are a bit under 5ft apart. I get great width, decent hieght, a little extension into the room, and no depth (55" RPTV sits between them). IMHO, the 4ft space between them is not the problem. Placing the speaker... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I think rebbi is correct. I was actually thinking about the Walsh 100S3 before the new line came out. In the new line, the 1000 is too small for my room (~2800 c.f.), so I went with the 2000. Given the improvements to the design, the economy, the ... | |
| How effective is the Onzow Zerodust? Wow - thanks you guys!!! I was reading this thread, thinking about the Onzow. I thought Magic Eraser was some kind of audiophile tweak like tube dampers, until I googled it. Obviously, I don't do the cleaning in my house! A $2.79 household cleanin... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Good question, Mapman. AFAIK, the casters are affixed to the plinth base, so you get both. I asked Jay if the plinths sat flat on the floor, since my basement floor (carpeted) is not completely flat. His response was that they come with casters, s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well, I finally, FINALLY, pulled the trigger (been following this thread for a long time!) on a pair of Walsh 2000s. Although I wanted a satin black finish, that was not available, so I ordered a black finished wood veneer. I ordered the standard ... | |
| Current Inexpensive CD Vs High Priced 90's The good news is that many low-priced DACs are available through the internet with generous return options. You can try the MF V-DAC, and other DACs from PS Audio, Cambridge Audio, Music Hall and others. If they don't work for you, you're only out... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks - will stick with the standards vented design. BTW, pics of the new thousand series Walsh speakers, now in production, are now up on the Ohm website. Badda-bing - Bubbinga! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Getting closer to pulling the trigger on the Walsh 2000s.One question: I sent my room diagram and speaker selector form into John Strohbeen. He agreed that the 2000s would be sufficent for my room. However, he commented that since I was using subs... | |
| Please recommend a musical sub for me Well, it aint small, but my Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers are very musical - fast, clean, and easy to blend with my mains. Used, this sub can be had for under $1000, somtimes under $900. | |
| Re: What are the Best Speakers a $1000 could get? If the Marantz has a multi-channel input, I would use it as an amplifier only. AVRs like this Marantz and your Denon are known for less than rated power output when multiple channels are driven simultaneously. Using the Marantz to power, say, just... | |
| Want McIntosh sound, but can't afford the MDA1000? Dserran - care to answer my earlier question - where did you buy the DAC, at a car stereo dealer? Thanks! | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Sure sounds like IM distortion to me! | |
| Re: What are the Best Speakers a $1000 could get? I would look into DCM loudspeakers at this link:http://www.mitekfactoryoutlet.com/products/brand.cfm?brand=6The TFE-100 and 200 are both in your price range, offer high value for the dollar, and come with a trial period. If you don't like them, yo... | |
| Want McIntosh sound, but can't afford the MDA1000? Thanks for the post. Can I ask what DACs you did compare it to? Why did you prefer the MDA5000 over them? Also, how did you buy it? From an audio dealer? A car stereo shop? How would you characterise the McIntosh DAC sound? TIA. |
