| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks, Parasound and Zkzpb8!Parasound - I am a firm believer in burn-in of speakers, most electronics, phono pickups and, to much lesser extent, ICs, speaker cables and power cords. Although I want to let them run in while I am not around, I get ... | |
| Repair my C-J PV11 or try to replace? Thanks again, all. I did indeed send my PV-11 to Virginia for repair and refresh. Turn-around was about two weeks. The line-stage tubes were replaced, a stripped case-screw replaced, all contacts were cleaned and unit was tested. Total bill, inclu... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks, Parasound, but I won't have the cash until a bonus check on August 31st. FYI, only my preamp is C-J. My amp is the Odyssey Audio HT3. Mapman - this must be a no-risk trial for me. I can't spend that kinda money without a way out if they ar... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Parasound63: Funny you should say "I haven't listened to this much music since I was 16." That's exactly what I am looking for. My current rig is not bad, but I never have long listening sessions, usually switch to watching movies, and rarely list... | |
| Looking for new monitors - $300-$600 budget I would suggest you audition the Silverline Audio Minuets @$600/pr list. | |
| Impossible? Small towers, efficient, musical, loud I think you have it right yourself with the Silverline Audio Prelude. I have heard them with very modest (in price and output) electronics, and I was extremely impressed. Soundstage that goes on forever. That said, if you are used to the Ushers, t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Diebenkorn: Thanks for the comments. Please feel free to post more impressions as you listen further.Does anyone know if the prices will go up for the next version of the 100? (I hope not.)Mapman - Not only do I remember Crazie Eddie's, I knew how... | |
| Tower Speakers and Room Size Daverz: While 60 watts will cause Thiels to make sound, every time I have heard Thiels with anything less than a huge power amp, I have been dissappointed. In fact, I thought little of Thiels until I heard them with a big Krell and a big Musical F... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ah, Tech HiFi! That's where I got my first speakers - Advent New Large Utilities - in 1978. They were on sale for less than $200 ($179/pr?), IIRC. This is back when Tech HiFi, Sam Goody, Rabson's and other mid-fi retailers were big businesses, and... | |
| Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000? In addition to the numerous great suggestions above, I would add:Vienna Acoustics Mozart GrandSilverline Audio AllegroHappy Hunting! | |
| Morel Octave/Octwin speakers, anyone? I don't own them, but have notes from HE200? at the Hilton in NYC where the Octwins were demo'd. I recall in particular a track from Peter Gabriel's "So" being played called "Don't Give Up." It's a well-recorded track with both Gabriel and Kate Bu... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well, since we're all discussing current, why don't those of you who have amps with current ratings post the current ratings here. Although I don't own Ohms - not yet :-) - my Odyssey Audio Stratos HT3 is rated to deliver 45 amps of current. I do ... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena's I was also at that meet where the Grand Veenas were demo'd by the manufacturer. I would agree with most of the previous comments. They are very smooth and detailed. There were a few times during the demo that I noticed a bit of glare in the lower-... | |
| What floorstanding speakers should I buy? To the above listed speakers, I would also audition the DCM TFE-200, which sells for $1K/pr new, factory direct, with a 30-day in-home trial. http://www.mitekfactoryoutlet.com/products/brand.cfm?brand=6 | |
| any thoughts on vinyl to cd recording A contrary opinion here. I need to digitize my vinyl, not to eliminate the need to listen to it, for I will continue to listen to vinyl on the big rig. However, for casual listening, and especially mobile use (car, iPod, etc.), I must digitize my ... |
