Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for your thoughts, Mapman. BTW, interesting story behind the German Physiks: The designer of the Dicks Dipole Driver specifically set out to design a Walsh driver without the cost constraints that Ohm works under. IOW, a no-holds-barred Wal... 
Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records?
And another thing...  I listen to a lot of music on Youtube.  What's that, 320 kps at best?  I don't care.  There's more great music out there than I can afford.  And, again, on my system, it doesn't sound too bad. 
Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records?
I would never let the quality of a recording dictate whether I would listen to it or not.  I have plenty of really badly recorded/produced/mixed recordings that enjoy.  I enjoy them in the car, on a secondary system, and on the big rig.  Besides t... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
How do you like the Mojo?  I have been pondering buying an ifi Black Label DSD DAC, for home use, not portable.  This is a a direct competitor to the Chord.I really like the German Physiks.  That dealer/distributor is Larry Borden's Distinctive St...

bassdude2 - Not for nothing, but "most" is not "all".  As JGH used to say, if you haven't heard it, you don't have an opinion. 
Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers
+2 on the Ohm Walsh suggestion.  Depending on the size of your room, these should come in well within your budget.  I have been happily running a pair of Ohm Walsh 2000s for about 8 years (although I do run them with subs, because, well, I am a ba... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Map - Did you buy them?  I saw a nice pair on ebay recently with starting bid at $900.  I bought a somewhat beat-up pair of MW Talls a few years back for $375 - Audiogon seller in Brooklyn, so i picked them up myself.  They are my surround speaker... 
$3000 Speaker Search
I am a little late to the party, but I would recommend the speakers I own, Ohm Walsh 2000 ($2800/pr). They are available in a wide variety of veneers, are not too large, and work well in my space, which, like yours, is a smaller nook open to a lar... 
Help me narrow down some speaker choices
msommers:  The German Physiks, to my ears (YMMV) do just about everything right.  They place sound in the room, with a wide, tall and deep soundstage.  Yet, the music seems properly scaled, pianos sound like normal-sized pianos, not miniature pian... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
rodm_2001 - Thanks.  I actually prefer a gradual roll-off of the high frequencies.  The 2000s do in fact fit that bill.  In fact, a recent cable upgrade has made the 2000s brighter, alsmost too bright.  A borderline situation.  I do have a decent ... 
Come on people....BASS!
I think the OP is absolutely rite! 
What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k?
If I had $6K to drop on a power amplifer, I would buy a pair of Arion Audio HS-500 hybrids.  I have heard these several times, and they are excellent.  Lots of power, and they don't sound like Class D amps.  Liquid and clean.  ArionAudio.com. 
Help me narrow down some speaker choices
msommers - No, I have been enjoying my much less expensive Ohm Walsh 2000s (each with their own Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofer) since late 2009.  But I have heard the GP HRS-130, and the GP are my dream speaker.  They take the Walsh omni concept and re... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
rodm - innteresting. Your post made me realize that when I hooked my 2000s up to that Pioneer AVR, I was using the Pioneer’s MCACC, Pioneer’s fairly effective room correction software. I normally do not have the Pioneer in the 2-channel chain, so ...
