| Surprised I had no trouble integrating my Vandersteen 2Wq subs (each with the M5-HP crossover) with my Ohm Walsh 2000s. No, these are not stand-mounts, but still, it could not have been easier. I plunked the subs in the corners, where they are designed to g... | |
| I want to digitally record my vinyl but I'm not sure how to approach it successfully. It is not quite fully fleshed out yet, but I own and love the Sugarcube SC-2 by SweetVinyl. A one-box, turnkey solution for digitizing vinyl that also removes clicks and pops. Eventually, it will attach metadata, cover art and split tracks as we... | |
| B&W 705S/Rotel amp and where to buy in NYC area? A couple of good Rotel & B&W dealers in NJ: Homeworks Group, Ridgewood, NJAudio Connection, Verona, NJThere are plenty in NYC as well. Just check the B&W and Rotel web sites - they both have dealer locators.I have not heard the Rotel B... | |
| Extremely hyped omni directionals introduced Munich 2018 @erik_squires - looking at them, I think the two drivers firing into the tubes work in a similar fashion to current Ohm Walsh designs. Except for the deepest bass, the sound radiates into the room off the back of the speaker cone, the part expose... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @mapman - I have owned and liked an Odyssey Audio Stratos HT3 (with cap upgrade) - a three channel amp for the front channels of my combo HT/2-channel system since 2006. Last September, the amp suffered a capacitor failure. So I sent (all 64 lbs... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @mapman - Yup, that’s just it: Before my system soiled the bed last September, I really thought it could not get much better than it was, even if it wasn’t perfect (at least not without spending major cabbage). And yet, here I am enjoying not a mi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @schubert - I agree with you for the most part, but my previous speakers sort of hit a plateau at some point, where I felt that upgrades to my system, room, cabling, etc., were not really being reflected by the speakers. That's why I got rid of t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Just a heads up and preview... The Ohm Walsh 2000s continue to amaze me. I am making progress in sorting out some system issues that have been plaguing me since last fall. Although I am not completely out of the woods, I have made some progress... | |
| Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers I heard them at the Chester Group Audio Show in NYC in November, 2016. I was extremely impressed. It was hard to find fault with them, although the demo was in a large room with a very high cieling. I remember thinking that they would never fit... | |
| Is Velodyne gone? I have a Def Tech PF15 I bought new for LFE duty in 1994. Still going strong, and I leave it powered on most of the time. Not the last word in accuracy, but for LFE, it gets the job done (it gets a signal via a Pioneer AVR with MCACC). I just t... | |
| Odyssey Kismet Reference series. Well, it has been a long, bumpy trip, but I am finally enjoying my Kismet (the left and right channels upgraded in my Stratos HT3 case). Initially I was very underwhelmed with the sound, but it turned out that my outboard crossovers were not oper... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs A word of caution - I cannot really understand what is being attempted here, but Vandersteen does caution against using XLR-single-ended converters with the M5-HP. There are different types of converters. The ones made by the Digital Amplifier C... | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted Not a bad idea, and they look pretty clean. Just look around at the big auction site, where many pairs are offered at much lower prices (although not this model, and not in as good a shape as these). | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs The M5-HP is a battery biased active crossover designed for use with either Vandersteen speakers featuring built-in powered subs or Vandersteen 2W series subs.They have internal jumpers that must be set to match the input impedance of your main am... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @bstatmeister - You are 100% on the same page as I was when I started to look for a sub. I did exactly what you did, picking up one 2Wq, then several months later a second one, placing each in the front corner outside the mains. And, when the ma... |
