| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification @high-amp... No worries. My 2000s sound wonderful at background levels, even listening to lossey internet radio. Too good, actually, as I am often unable to continue what I am working on, and instead focus on the music. I often end up cranking the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification I agree, mapman, and I understand John’s approach. But he could do both, showing people that his speakers will sound good with whatever they feed them, but they will reward upgrades with even better sound. You will not have to buy new speakers as ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification @bsohne... I have said for a few years that John Strohbeen might be making a mistake by demoing his speakers at shows using only midfi gear. Especially when he is showing more than one pair, I have been saying that better gear would result in a ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification @redstarwraith... I think the warranty is 10 years. Life expectancy of the caps he uses is 12 years. But even if it was under warranty, my point was that I am no longer able to maneuver this 64 lb amp easily enough to pack and ship it. So, I am do... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification I recently went from a SS class a/b amp (Odyssey Stratos upgraded to Kismet Reference) which died to a class D, Arion Audio S500 for my 2000s. I couldn't be happier.While I have great respect for John Strohbeen, I disagree with him on a few point... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @snapsc and @mapmanI know the US distributor for German Physiks and have heard 2 of their models in his showroom. I generally agree with mapman, but I preferred the highs on the GP speakers... A little sweeter. Also, they are true omnis with no re... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @snapsc: First, your tweeter question. Where the resister on the tweeter (there is no crossover in the literal sense) kicks in is not divulged by Ohm, and is a matter of some debate. On the old Ohm web site, there was a page that indicated the twe... | |
| NJ Audio Society? About 1/4 to 1/3 of the NJAS meetings are in South Jersey. In October, the meeting is in Delaware. Please see www.njaudiosociety.com for details. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @blin116... Interesting. I was ready to order an amp from Class D Audio when I was offered a great deal on another class D amp from a guy I know that builds them. Do you feel the SDS-470C is a good match for the Ohms? That amp seems to offer a ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I switched (ha!) to a Class D amp a few months ago. 10k input impedance and 500 watts per channel. Still breaking it in. I will have more to say about it with my 2000s, but for now, I concur with everything mapman says about high power class D ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @fyusmal....Although I would be pleased to have you over for demo of my 2000s, I live in New Jersey, so you would have to alter your travel plans. I am very close to Newark Liberty Airport, about 10 minutes away.I am totally with you on the music ... | |
| NJ Audio Society? Hey Tom, good to hear from you. We look forward to your return, Phil. | |
| Odyssey Kismet Reference series. The kicker for me was when I called to tell him my original HT3 had died, he asked how old it was. When I told him about 12 years, his reply was that of course, those caps only last about 10 years, and that I was lucky they lasted 12 years. And ... | |
| Odyssey Kismet Reference series. Well, my experience was not too good, either. After realizing my upgraded HT3 (full Kismet reference internals) was not performing well, Klaus determined it was damaged in shipping. I lugged it back to UPS store again, and sent it back. This ti... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder I have been a 2000 owner since 2009, one of the first pairs sold. Not for nuthin', as e say in NJ, but the room square footage appropriate for each of the x000 series is posted on the Ohm web site. The Ohm Walsh x000 series all sound essentially... |
