| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder Also, @jstrohbeen - Since we have your attention, have you ever played around with folded ribbon tweeters in combination with your Walsh line of speakers? I have been wondering what such a combo might sound like. | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder Hi John! Thanks for sharing these thoughts with us. Neat little story: Last night, I had a friend over who owns a B&M audio dealer near me. I thought he would find all sorts of reasons why I should not have bouoght my Ohm 2000s. I could n... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @mr_m - yup. That seems to support my recollection that the 2Wq was designed to sit in a corner. It's actually not that surprising at all. | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @sonicjoy - IIRC, RV designed the 2Wq to sit in the corner. That's where I placed them, and I have never had any boominess from them. Boy I miss what I had going on until last September! | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @audionoobie - Sounds like a plan. Don't expect a pair Dale Harder speakers for the price of a pair of 1000s, though. John is a very smart, modest guy. I met him at an audio show in New York. Nothing beats the long in-home trial Ohm offers. Y... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @sonicjoy - Yup, that was kind of a given as far as I was concerned. Note only is it helpful for the main speakers, but lowers the burden on the amplifiers significantly. All good reasons for a HPF for the mains. That alone might steer me away ... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @enginedr1960 - So, if I read your last post correctly, you compensate for roll-off below 50Hz with the passive pre? Does it have enough gain for this purpose? I guess that is possible if it is a transformer based volume control, but I thought pas... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @mapman - actually, the attic was pretty dead. Drywall cieling, but wall-to-wall carpet, and lots of bookshelves packed with books, papers and other bric-a-brac. Although there was a window at each end of the attic, one behind me and one in fron... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @invictus005 - I am not disputing what you say, but I am curious as to how you arrived at your conclusion. I love my 2Wqs, but the Rythmik clearly has some fans here. Have you compared the two? | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @mapman - the spookiest depth experience I ever had was on a computer in my attic, which is located at one end of a long narrow attic with slanted cielings. There was about 5' of space behind my seat, and about 20' behind the desk. With just an ... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? There may be something to the concerns of using solid core wire for power cords. Note, for example, that Morrow Audio uses solid core wire for all of their cable products except their power cords. Just sayin'. | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @snapsc - That is what most omnis excel at. Depth is a little more elusive, which I think, comes more with better electronics, room acoustics, speaker positioning and source material. But height and width? Both fantastic in my room. The speake... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @gdnrbob - A sordid, unhappy, long story, some of which can be found here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/vandersteen-2wq-subwoofers-with-m5-hp-crossovers-help-neededI think you posted on that thread, btw. I am still working on resolving th... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @tyray - When my system was working properly (until last September), I would often crank it. Having a basement Man Cave and a solid old house means I can crank it whenever I want. The 2Wqs work the way a good sub should - they are invisible, and u... | |
| Speaker recomendation Meanwhile, back at The Topic...IMHO, if I had a room that big and $10-15K for amps and speakers, I would probably try this: I would call John Strohbeen at Ohm Acoustics, and ask if the Walsh 5000 would be able to work in that large space. If so,... |
