| Looking for speaker ideas. With your room dimensions, I would suggest an in-home audition of Ohm Walsh 1000s ($2000/pr) or 2000s ($2800/pr, but you can wait for a sale, the next one will likely be around Presidents' Day). IME, they are excellent on all types of music, incl... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? enginedr1960: Thanks for the post. Sounds like a very cool rig. I love the DSPeaker, and was tempted a few times to buy one at audio shows. But I actually have a seemless blend with my subs and it is impossible to point them out as a sound sou... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? peterr53: I have my 2000s on Sound Anchor cradle bases, mostly for stability, but they did help overall with imaging and cleaned up the sound a bit.t8kc: The subwoofer option works for me. I am a big proponent of dual subs for stereo, however. ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sounds like a plan, t8kc. Keep us posted. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? t8kc - Very interesting post about your 2.2000s. I feed my 2000s with 150 watts per side (Odyssey Audio HT3 w/cap upgrade). But, IIRC, Mapman feeds his big Walsh's with 500 or 1000 watts per side (Bel Canto).I think mine sound good with the mere... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? t8kc - You sparked my curiousity with your post. I have never heard 4XO's, but I have owned a pair of 2000s for over seven years and I love them. What about the 2.2000 upgrade did you find dissappointing? | |
| How often is your system "good"? Like raymonda, my system always sounds good, but source material quality has a huge impact on the sound, as I think it should. That said, there are some nights when I am just not feeling it, and some nights when I can't stand to stop listening. ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman: Lafayette Radio!!! I worked there one year in college, 1982-1983. They were already owned by Circuit City, but still doing biz as Lafayette Radio. I was in the store on 45th St. in Manhattan. That street also had a number of other hif... | |
| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? You gotta love Odyssey Audio's approach to face plate color! Eight colors to chose from, and for an upcharge, the whole chasis can be anodized in your color choice. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman - The 7 kHz roll-in for the tweeter, IIRC, was mentioned somewhere on the old Ohm web site. Next month, I will be hearing the German Physiks speakers, which use a Dick's Dipole Walsh-type driver for all but the low bass frequencies. No tw... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? frazeur1: IIRC, the tweeter rolling in above 7 kHz was stated on the old Ohm web site. I did a quick search for this on the current Ohm web site and found no mention of the tweeter at all. But if you really want to know, call (don't email) John... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman - I don't want to sound like I am bragging, but both in this case and at Ohm's room at the Chester Group Show in NYC in November, I preferred my system by a significant margin.In the case of he doubled Ohm Fs, I could see how they might be ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Don't be put off by that response graph. My 2000s' response graph had a similar overall shape. IMHO, systems that tilt downward to the right are much more listenable, realistic, and involving over the long run. If you want, EQ the system to be ... | |
| 1st speaker considerations: Odyssey Lorelei, Meadowlark Shearwater, Spatial M3 Turbo S I remember, vaguely, the Meadowlarks from a Stereophile show about 10 years ago. All I remember is that they looked nice and sounded good. You might have issues if they ever need servicing, though. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Wow! I finally got to hear a DOUBLE PAIR of Ohm Fs. I was at an audio club event in New Jersey at Harry Weisfeld’s home in Holmdel, NJ. Harry owns two pair of restored Ohm F speakers, with a wooden bracket that allows the second pair to be placed,... |
